转换注意力和集中力，2技能预期使用熟练的行人，进行了研究。一个样本的160名儿童（年龄4岁3个月至10岁）玩电脑游戏，涉及注意切换。为了检查注意力，一部分儿童在尝试一项需要匹配熟悉图形的困难任务时被卡通视频分心。同样的子集也被观察到穿越道路。年龄较大的孩子转换得更快，注意力也更少。更善于切换的孩子在过马路时更有可能表现出对交通的意识。那些在分心事件的挑战下保持注意力集中的孩子们过马路的方式不那么鲁莽。家长和教育工作者在设计安全计划时应考虑到这些技能的发展。
Switching attention and concentration, 2 skills expected to be used by skillful pedestrians, were studied. A sample of 160 children (aged 4 years 3 months-10 years) played a computer game involving attention switching. To examine concentration, a subset of the children was distracted with a cartoon video while they attempted a difficult task that required matching familiar figures. The same subset was also observed crossing roads. Older children switched faster and were less distracted. Children who were better at switching were more likely to show awareness of traffic when about to cross a road. Children who maintained concentration when challenged by a distracting event crossed the road in a less reckless manner. Parents and educators designing safety programs should take into account the development of these skills.
