DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The visual world is cluttered with many targets and many distractions. Learning requires selecting and stabilizing attention on just some of that information. The proposed research examines the idea that for toddlers, effective visual attention is fundamentally a sensory-motor process involving external bodily actions. The proposed research addresses a gap in current understanding of how sensory- motor behavior supports effective visual attention, a critical gap given the evidence implicating atypical attention in many developmental disorders and the well established co-morbidity of atypical sensory-motor patterns in these same developmental disorders The proposed experiments measure multiple sensory and motor streams: head and hand movements, eye-gaze direction, and the first- person head-centered view as 12 to 24 month old children act on and learn about objects. The studies will provide a fine-grained description of the dynamics of visual attention, of how children's own actions help to sustain and stabilize visual attention, and the role of these processes in learning about objects.

描述（由申请人提供）：视觉世界充满了许多目标和许多干扰。学习需要选择并稳定关注一些信息。拟议的研究研究了这样的想法，即对于幼儿来说，有效的视觉注意力从根本上讲是一种涉及外部身体动作的感觉运动过程。拟议的研究解决了当前对感官行为如何支持有效视觉关注的差距，这是一个关键的差距，鉴于证据涉及许多发育障碍中的非典型注意力以及在这些相同发育障碍中非典型感觉运动模式的合并良好的合并症上并了解对象。这些研究将提供对视觉关注动态的细粒度描述，即儿童自己的行为如何帮助维持和稳定视觉注意力以及这些过程在学习对象中的作用。
