You can use the games kids to evaluate attention with or without Reward

Hi, I just want to make you observe the notion "attention think affekt". Professor Donald L. Nathanson has written about this. He refres to tomkins 1962: innate affects, a group of 9 genetically transmitted prewritten subcortical program.

Thanks a lot for both of you.

I would ask students in the same question or directive over several days on no less than 10 to 20 children. Record the response for each child in a seperate portfolio. Use different tones of voice (i.e. unhappy, sad, worried, positive, happy, etc.) see if the students have similar responses when asked in various ways.

I would consider a mood induction then assess their abilities to be engaged in a relatively uninteresting task.

Thank you ,Miss Whitemore. I'm looking forward to know the responses of children.

Thank for your sharing,Mr.Clinton.

Question

Can anyone suggest how to evaluate the effects of emotions on sustained and selective attention in children?

I want to observe if negative and positive emotions cause different performances on sustained and selective attention in children.

what do you mean by "sustained and selective" ?

what type of evaluation are you looking for?

a. comparison

b. reactionary

c. scientific vs. norm stats

d. medical vs physical indifference's

e. affective vs, effective

If you are interested in visual attention then you could use standard eye-tracker equipment. Kids seem to like the equipment so don't be put off by that.

Dear Miss Cecconello,

I'm still thinking about the good questions you mentioned .Thank you very much for your opinions.I'll discuss with my advising professor about these questions.

Dear Mr.Qualter,

Thank you very much for your opinions.I'm planning to use eye-tracker equipment for kids in my study.But I'm slightly worried about if they will "too" focus on the eye-tracker equipment to ignore the screen in the beginnig......

Kids in my studies have always loved the eye-tracking equipment thinking it is like being a robot or something; many children thought is was fun to wear the kit and take part in our studies.

Thank a lot for your sharing, Mr.Qualter.
