Assessing the attentional networks in children: a child version of the ANTI

Attention involves three functionally and neuroanatomically distinct neural networks: alerting, orienting, and executive control. This study aimed to analyze the development of attentional networks in children aged between 3 and 6 years using a child-friendly version of the Attentional Network Test for Interaction. The sample included eightyeight children divided into four age groups: 3-year-old, 4-year-old, 5-year-old, 6-year-old children. The results of this study indicated that between 4 and 6 years, there are no significant changes in attentional networks. Instead, between 3 and 4 years of age, children significantly improve all their attentional skills
