Abstract

Visual Attention in Crisis provides the reader with an alternative way to think about the visual attention phenomena–often interpretable in terms of perceptual processes and peripheral vision. We urge an extension of these considerations to developmental science. Infancy research underpins the foundations of mature attentional mechanisms. It may offer a critical test for evolving perceptual limits on attention.
