Abstract: The present study was intended to research the development of selective attention of primary school children and its influential factors.The subjects were grade one,three and five of primary school children.We focused on how number of distractor,cue validity and singleton or non-singleton affect the development of selective attention of primary school children.The results indicated that:(1) grade three(aged 8~9 year) children showed significant attention shift;(2)children's selective attention processing speed was slower roughly 300~1100 ms in the same task;(3) the effect of number of distractor,cue validity and singleton or non-singleton on children's selective attention processing speed was consistent with adults,however,children's processing had durative developmental trend.

Key words: primary school children, development of visual selective attention, distractor,validity of cue, singleton or non-singleton
