本文回顾了两篇关于儿童注意力发展的文献：一篇是关于灵活注意转换的，另一篇是关于选择性注意的。第一个是越来越多的文献学龄前儿童在注意力转换任务的表现表明，儿童变得更加灵活，在他们的注意力控制在学龄前几年。第二个文献包括一个大的和强大的一套现象，为同一发展时期，表明一个长期的发展过程中选择性注意的儿童。我们问是否选择性注意过程中的发展变化可能有助于更灵活的注意转换。我们认为这两套现象就这个问题，并提出了一个经验议程，他们的联合研究，最终可能导致一个统一的帐户的发展选择性注意和注意转换。
We review and relate two literatures on the development of attention in children: one concerning flexible attention switching and the other concerning selective attention. The first is a growing literature on preschool children's performances in an attention-switching task indicating that children become more flexible in their attentional control during the preschool years. The second literature encompasses a large and robust set of phenomena for the same developmental period that indicates a protracted course of development for selective attention in children. We ask whether developmental changes in processes of selective attention may contribute to more flexible attention switching. We consider the two sets of phenomena with respect to this question and propose an empirical agenda for their joint study that may lead ultimately to a unified account of the development of selective attention and attention switching.
