You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
Source 1:


 * irrelevant, interfering info affects younger children moreso than older/adults
 * however, this is shown to perhaps be due to immature perceptual organization rather than attention allocation. not perceptual capacity issues, but rather inability to organize and discriminate which information is valuable
 * children have a more difficult time in discriminating stimuli and inhibiting responses to irrelevant info
 * incidental learning paradigm- children ages 11 and up begin to be less likely to process incidental stimuli
 * most likely due to the development of strategies to actively process relevant info over irrelevant

Source 2:


 * the ability to select one message among interfering messages has shown to increase with age between 5 and 12, 11-12 being the threshold that comparatively is more than before
 * things that contribute to this heightened ability is both increased language ability with age as well as increased sequence/word familiarity

Source 3:


 * among children themselves, hyperactive children show to be less able to filter out irrelevant information (intrusion errors) as well as allocate attention to relevant information (omission errors)
 * this pattern replicates that of age, as in hyperactive children are to not hyperactive children as younger children are to older children
 * all ties back to developmentally immature attention allocation
