Abstract: The manner by which developing children resist interference effects from irrelevant information is examined. Of particular significance are the influence of perceived structure and selective attention on interference. Stimulus response translation is emphasized over perceptual filtering and motor preparation processes in decreasing interference effects in developing children.
