  • Title: Attention to people and toys during social and object mastery in children with Down syndrome.
    Author: Ruskin EM, Kasari C, Mundy P, Sigman M.
    Journal: Am J Ment Retard; 1994 Jul; 99(1):103-11. PubMed ID: 7946251.
    Abstract:
    Attention to people versus objects by children with Down syndrome was examined. Subjects were presented with situations in which the primary focus alternated between an object stimulus (a toy) and a social stimulus (a singing experimenter). The children with Down syndrome monitored their environment in the same manner as did MA-matched typically developing children during object mastery and had a more focused attention style during social mastery. Reasons for this difference in attention across the two situations were discussed.
