本研究采用附加学习任务的研究方法，以不同语义关系的剌激材料探讨了儿童和成人注意选择性发展。研究结果表明：注意选择性呈年龄发展趋势，而材料间的语义关系和对注意目标的加工方式对成人和儿童的注意选择性具有不同的影响。这可能跟成人对文学语义关系的掌握更老练，具有更高的信息加工能力有关。

The research has studied, how Selectivity of attention develops from children (grade 2) to young adults (undergraduates) by the means of incidental learning tasks, in which two variates were used. One was the Semantic relation between target and context, the other was methods of processing (identifying) target. The results were: (1) Selectivity of attention develops with increasing of age. (2) Selectivity of attention is more greatly affected by the semantic relation between target and context with increasing of age. The phenomeon may be caused by that the adults are more proficient in processing semantic information than the children. (3) The older the individual is, the less Selectivity of attention is affected by the processing methods. It perhaps proves that the adults process semantic information more automaticly.
