Abstract

Pedestrian injury affects thousands of Canadian children many of whom die as a result of related accidents. Pedestrian behaviours involve numerous cognitive development factors that influence the interaction between child and environment. One such cognitive factor is selective attention. Guided by a cognitive framework, this paper explores links between the development of selective attention and children's pedestrian behaviours, and suggests future directions for the inclusion of selective attention in pedestrian safety research.
