Distraction and reorientation in children: a behavioral and ERP studyNicole Wetzel
Institut für Allgemeine Psychologie, Universitat Leipzig, Seeburgstr 14 20, D 04103 Leipzig Psychologisches Institut, Johannes Gutenberg Universitat, Mainz, Germany
Neuroreport 15:1355-8. 2004....- The development of involuntary and voluntary attention from childhood to adulthood: a combined behavioral and event-related potential studyNicole Wetzel
Institute of Psychology I, University of Leipzig, Germany
Clin Neurophysiol 117:2191-203. 2006..This study investigated auditory involuntary and voluntary attention in children aged 6-8, 10-12 and young adults. The strength of distracting stimuli (20% and 5% pitch changes) and the amount of allocation of attention were varied... - Modulation of involuntary attention by the duration of novel and pitch deviant sounds in children and adolescentsNicole Wetzel
Institute of Psychology I, University of Leipzig, Seeburgstrasse 14 20, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Biol Psychol 75:24-31. 2007..The fact that in the post-P3a window this duration effect was largest for the 6-8 years old indicates that young children are especially prone for distraction... - Cognitive control of involuntary attention and distraction in children and adolescentsNicole Wetzel
Institute of Psychology I, University of Leipzig, Seeburgstr 14 20, Leipzig, Germany
Brain Res 1155:134-46. 2007..However, significant age effects were observed for the level of behavioral distraction and the selective utilization of the visual cues (reflected by P3b)... 
The modulation of auditory novelty processing by working memory load in school age children and adults: a combined behavioral and event-related potential studyPhilipp Ruhnau
Institute of Psychology I, University of Leipzig, Seeburgstr, 14 20, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
BMC Neurosci 11:126. 2010..Processing of novel sounds were measured with reaction times, hit rates and the auditory event-related brain potentials (ERPs) Mismatch Negativity (MMN), P3a, Reorienting Negativity (RON) and visual P3b...
Processing of novel identifiability and duration in children and adultsNicole Wetzel
Institute of Psychology I, University of Leipzig, Germany
Biol Psychol 86:39-49. 2011..Results are discussed in the framework of current models of involuntary attention referring to the ERP-components N1/Mismatch Negativity, P2, early P3a, and late P3a...- The time-course of auditory and visual distraction effects in a new crossmodal paradigmAlexandra Bendixen
Institut fur Psychologie I, University of Leipzig, D 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Neuropsychologia 48:2130-9. 2010..Further applications of the new crossmodal protocol are deemed promising in view of the considerable size of the obtained distraction effects... - Distraction and facilitation--two faces of the same coin?Nicole Wetzel
Institute of Psychology, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 38:664-74. 2012..4) It is suggested that performance in deviant and novel trials is the sum of the costs of attentional orienting and benefits of information as well as benefits of unspecific activation for novels... - The cognitive control of distraction by novelty in children aged 7-8 and adultsNicole Wetzel
Institute of Psychology I, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany
Psychophysiology 46:607-16. 2009..This differential pattern of the development of RT prolongation, P3a, and RON across age groups indicates different maturation of processes involved in the control of distraction and suggests partly independent underlying processes...
