A-n-T: Attention and Temperament in Infancy
The A-n-T Study, also known as Attention and Temperament in Infancy, is a study that examined the way attention may be linked to temperament and emotional behavior from the first years of life.
Children ages 4-months to 24-months with a variety of temperaments were included in the study. Infants viewed pictures of faces and a children’s video in order to examine patterns of attention.
We used state-of-the-art eye-tracking equipment to assess where the infants were looking. Infants also played with a variety of objects and toys as a part of a standard assessment of temperament. This data will allow us to see how patterns of visual attention may be associated with social and emotional behavior over time.
