Testing attention shifting abilities in children and chimpanzees

A team of researchers at the University of St Andrews, in the U.K., working with a colleague from the University of Portsmouth, also in the U.K., has tested young children and chimpanzees to learn more about when attention shifting develops in humans. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes experiments they conducted with children between the ages of three and five and adult chimpanzees.
