Abstract
This chapter reviews recent work on visual attention in children. The review is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a framework in which questions concerning the relations between various components of attention can be explored. A taxonomy of visual attention is suggested, developmental data on each of the taxonomy components is summarized, and a paradigm for examining the relations between components is presented. Examinations of the relations between several components show that all but one (overt visual search) appear to share mechanisms. This finding has important implications for theories of attention and cognitive development.
