Abstract: In present study,endogenous and exogenous experimental paradigms were used to investigate primary and middle school students'SNARC effect of number processing in attended or unattended conditions.The stimuli were numbers(1~9)in Arabic.Subjects'task was to decide whether the presented number was odd or even.The results showed that:(1)in the endogenous and exogenous cues,the development of the SNARC effect increased with age from primary school to senior high school under the task of number processing.(2)in attended conditions of endogenous and exogenous cues,there were significant SNARC effects from primary school to senior high school students.(3)in unattended condition of endogenous cue,there were significant SNARC effects in middle school students,but not in primary school students;in unattended condition of exogenous cue,there was significant SNARC effect in senior high school students,but not in primary and junior high school students.Moreover,the influence of unattended condition on SNARC effect was mainly found in the large numbers(8,9).

Key words: endogenous attention, exogenous attention, SNARC effect, number processing, primary and middle school students
