摘要: In 1981 (Posner & Rothbart, 1981), we argued that the attention system served as basis for self regulation and reviewed its development in infancy. this paper review new findings about structures functions of human attention, outline our current program research exploring their early development. The brain can be divided into posterior orienting systems operate conjunction with sensory processes, anterior form voluntary actions vigilance maintain alert state. infant represents an excellent model to explore these role emergence volition. months infancy attentional matures achieve control visual provide a way representing stimuli absence. We examine logic using chronometric methods isolate anatomically defined subsystems study
