This study examines the role of the anterior cingulate in the development of attention. Task performance relying predominantly on either automatic or controlled processes was correlated with magnetic resonance imaging based measures of the anterior cingulate in 26 normal children ages 5 to 16 years.
Methylphenidate (0.65 mg/kg), droperidol (15 micrograms/kg) or placebo were administered to normal adult males undertaking a dichotic auditory attention task.
