Selective Attention in Emotionally Disturbed/Behavior-Disordered Children

Abstract

Hagen's Central-Incidental Task was administered to 27 emotionally disturbed/behavior disordered students, ages 9 to 13 yr., and 27 normal peers. Subjects were matched on chronological age, sex, and race. There were no significant differences in performance between the handicapped group and their normal peers on three measures—central task, incidental task, and efficiency of selective attention. In addition, no significant developmental trends were observed in either group. The results questioned the assumption that students labeled as emotionally disturbed/behavior disordered have deficits in selective attention.
