Visual attention functions as a filter to select environmental information for learning and memory, making it the first step in the eventual cascade of thought and action systems. Here, we review studies of typical and atypical visual attention development and explain how they offer insights into the mechanisms of adult visual attention. We detail interactions between visual processing and visual attention, as well as the contribution of visual attention to memory. Finally, we discuss genetic mechanisms underlying attention disorders and how attention may be modified by training. Attention processes allow the selection of salient information over competing inputs. In this Review, Amso and Scerif propose a framework for visual attention development that incorporates its interactions with the visual system and may guide the design of training programmes to alleviate attention disorders.
