TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Development of visual-spatial attention JO - Current topics in behavioral neurosciences A1 - Johnson, Scott P. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - This chapter reviews literature on development of visual-spatial attention. A brief overview of brain mechanisms of visual perception is provided, followed by discussion of neural maturation in the prenatal period, infancy, and childhood. This is followed by sections on gaze control, eye movement systems, and orienting. The chapter concludes with consideration of development of space, objects, and scenes. Visual-spatial attention reflects an intricate set of motor, perceptual, and cognitive systems that work jointly and all develop in tandem.
