In contrast, no research has yet investigated the ability of children to use informative cues to voluntarily predict when an event will occur in time. The spatial and temporal attention task was used to determine whether children were able to voluntarily orient their attention in time, as well as in space: symbolic spatial and temporal cues predicted where or when an imperative target would appear. Thirty typically developing children (average age 11 yrs) and 32 adults (average age 27 yrs) took part. Confirming previous findings, adults made use of both spatial and temporal cues to optimise behaviour, and were significantly slower to respond to invalidly cued targets in either space or time. Children were also significantly slowed by invalid spatial cues, demonstrating their use of spatial cues to guide expectations. In contrast, children’s responses were not slowed by invalid temporal cues, suggesting that they were not using the temporal cue to voluntarily orient attention through time. Children, as well as adults, did however demonstrate signs of more implicit forms of temporal expectation: RTs were faster for long versus short cue-target intervals (the variable foreperiod effect) and slower when the preceding trial’s cue-target interval was longer than that on the current trial (sequential effects). Overall, our results suggest that although children implicitly made use of the temporally predictive information carried by the length of the current and previous trial’s cue-target interval, they could not deliberately use symbolic temporal cues to speed responses. The developmental trajectory of the ability to voluntarily use symbolic temporal cues is therefore delayed, relative both to the use of symbolic (arrow) spatial cues, and to the use of implicit temporal information.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Nobre, Ac" uniqKey="Nobre A">AC Nobre</name></author><author><name

In contrast, no research has yet investigated the ability of children to use informative cues to voluntarily predict when an event will occur in time. The spatial and temporal attention task was used to determine whether children were able to voluntarily orient their attention in time, as well as in space: symbolic spatial and temporal cues predicted where or when an imperative target would appear. Thirty typically developing children (average age 11 yrs) and 32 adults (average age 27 yrs) took part. Confirming previous findings, adults made use of both spatial and temporal cues to optimise behaviour, and were significantly slower to respond to invalidly cued targets in either space or time. Children were also significantly slowed by invalid spatial cues, demonstrating their use of spatial cues to guide expectations. In contrast, children’s responses were not slowed by invalid temporal cues, suggesting that they were not using the temporal cue to voluntarily orient attention through time. Children, as well as adults, did however demonstrate signs of more implicit forms of temporal expectation: RTs were faster for long versus short cue-target intervals (the variable foreperiod effect) and slower when the preceding trial’s cue-target interval was longer than that on the current trial (sequential effects). Overall, our results suggest that although children implicitly made use of the temporally predictive information carried by the length of the current and previous trial’s cue-target interval, they could not deliberately use symbolic temporal cues to speed responses. The developmental trajectory of the ability to voluntarily use symbolic temporal cues is therefore delayed, relative both to the use of symbolic (arrow) spatial cues, and to the use of implicit temporal information.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>These authors have no support or funding to report.</funding-statement></funding-group><counts><fig-count count="4"></fig-count><table-count count="3"></table-count><page-count count="15"></page-count></counts><custom-meta-group><custom-meta id="data-availability"><meta-name>Data Availability</meta-name><meta-value>The data are available from this website: <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.psych.unimelb.edu.au/people/katherine-johnson">http://www.psych.unimelb.edu.au/people/katherine-johnson</ext-link>.</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta><notes><title>Data Availability</title><p>The data are available from this website: <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.psych.unimelb.edu.au/people/katherine-johnson">http://www.psych.unimelb.edu.au/people/katherine-johnson</ext-link>.</p></notes></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec001"><title>Introduction</title><p>Anticipating <italic>where</italic> in space and <italic>when</italic> in time an event will occur are basic survival skills. Knowing where or when an event will occur allows attentional resources to be directed towards a discrete location in space, or a moment in time, so as to enhance sensorimotor processing of stimuli occurring at that point. Directing or “orienting” of attention in space or through time allows us to optimize our behavior by avoiding accidents, taking advantage of opportunities, and preserving energy until action is needed [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. Most research on attentional orienting has focused on directing attention in space [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] and has been conducted mainly with adult participants. Significantly less research has focused on the ability to voluntarily orient attention in time [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] and even less on the developmental nature of temporal attention in children [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>].</p><p>To direct attention to one location rather than another, one must first be able to perceive space. Infants have quite refined spatial perceptual skills [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>] and readily orient their spatial attention to different stimuli in the environment [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. The exogenous orienting system directs attention automatically to salient stimuli, whilst the endogenous system is activated voluntarily in response to cues that stipulate the location of an upcoming target [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>]. Exogenous covert attention studies in infants aged from three months suggest that even at this young age, children are able to shift their attention spatially [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. Moreover, reliable, valid tasks, developed to test endogenous spatial shifting of attention in adults [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>], have shown that school-aged children are also able to voluntarily direct attention to different locations in space [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>].</p><p>In contrast with spatial orienting of attention, the developmental aspects of orienting attention through time are unclear. In order to direct one’s attention to one time point rather than another, one must first be able to perceive time. There are different forms of timing, including (1) estimating the duration of an event, (2) determining if an event occurred before or after another event, also known as temporal order judgment, and (3) predicting when an event will occur based on regularities in the environment or temporal cues. Research into timing in children has focused primarily on the first two forms. For example, infants can detect temporal deviants in rhythmic auditory sequences [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>] and show evidence of scalar timing during duration discrimination [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]. By 3 years of age children show the same fundamental properties of time perception as adults, even though they are less accurate in making duration judgments [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. By 7 years, children are able to determine the correct temporal order of two acoustic events [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. The ability to estimate time precisely improves during childhood [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>] and may be associated with the development of working memory, sustained attention, cognitive flexibility [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>] and information processing speed [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>], most likely underpinned by brain maturation processes [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]. Developmental research into the third form of timing, predicting when an event will occur in order to optimize behavior, is sparser [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>] and has often focused on findings that music and rhythm implicitly help children acquire and develop language, reading and attentional control [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. Moreover, to our knowledge, no research has yet investigated the ability of children to use informative cues to <underline>voluntarily</underline> predict when an event will occur.</p><p>In adults, the behavioural and neural profiles of spatial and temporal attentional orienting have been compared and contrasted in functional neuroimaging [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>], electrophysiological [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>] and psychopharmacological [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>] investigations. In this paradigm, symbolic (“endogenous”) spatial and temporal cues are used to predict where (Space) and/or when (Time) targets will appear. The spatial location or temporal interval can be correctly (“validly”) or incorrectly (“invalidly”) cued. Adults are able to use both the valid Space and Time cues to respond quickly to the appearance of the targets when compared with a neutral cue condition [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>]. When invalidly cued however, response times are much longer as the participant has to disengage attention from the invalidly cued location/time and shift it to where/when the target actually appears. It is important to note that space and time possess different characteristics that need to be taken into account when examining how attention moves within these dimensions. Space is experienced as a multidirectional dimension, in that attention can be oriented to any point in space. Being incorrectly or “invalidly” cued to either the right or the left is disruptive to the orienting of attention in space. By contrast, time is experienced as a unidirectional dimension, with time, or at least our everyday concept of time, always flowing forwards. Because of the unidirectionality of “time’s arrow”, the elapse of time itself carries temporally predictive information. If an expected event has not yet occurred, the expectation that it will occur at the next possible moment increases as the delay lengthens: just imagine yourself waiting for a late-running bus. The phenomenon underlying this subjective experience is known as the Hazard Function, which is defined formally as the increasing conditional probability over time that an event will occur given that it has not already occurred [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>]. In the laboratory, this translates empirically into faster responses for events occurring after longer delays or “foreperiods” [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>], and is known in the literature as the Variable Foreperiod (FP) Effect [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>]. In terms of the attentional orienting task, this means that being invalidly cued to a short interval (i.e. the target is unexpectedly delayed) does not have the same behavioural cost as being invalidly cued to the long interval (i.e. the target is unexpectedly premature).</p><p>Although voluntary orienting of attention in time has not yet been investigated in children, there is evidence that children implicitly make use of the hazard function to predict the time of target onset. Children aged from 6–7 years onwards show the variable FP effect (i.e. RTs are faster for targets appearing after a long interval (or FP) than a short one) and the strength of this effect grows linearly as a function of age [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]. Moreover, children from 6–13 years old also show sequential effects [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>]: in other words, RT is modified by the duration of the FP on the previous trial [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>]. Sequential effects index an automatic or unintentional form of temporal attention [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>] but are asymmetrical: the length of the previous trial’s FP influences RT for trials with short FPs, but not for trials with long FPs. Specifically, RTs are slower for short FP trials than long FP trials only if the previous trial’s FP was longer. Although both variable FP and sequential effects index the implicit use of temporal information, sequential effects reflect a more automatic attentional process than variable FP effects. For example, sequential effects are resistant to dual-task interference whereas variable FP effects are attenuated [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]. Indeed, this functional distinction is reflected in the different developmental trajectories of variable FP and sequential effects: Vallessi and Shallice (2007) demonstrated that sequential effects were present earlier in development (4–5 years old) than variable FP effects (from 6 years old), although the characteristic asymmetry of the sequential effect began to be seen only by age 6 [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]. Overall, these data suggest that children attend to the implicit temporal characteristics of a task in order to optimize their performance.</p><p>The primary aim of this study was to determine whether children were able to voluntarily orient their attention in time, as well as in space. We also aimed to confirm earlier findings (e.g.[<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]) that children implicitly orient their attention in time, as indexed by the variable FP effect and sequential effects. At the other end of the developmental spectrum, it has been demonstrated that the orienting of attention in both space [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref045" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>] and time [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref046" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>] deteriorates in older adults. Zanto and colleagues used a time-only cueing design with 20 young adults and 21 elderly participants. The elderly adults were unable to use temporally informative cues to improve response times, but they did make use of the hazard function, in that response times were faster for targets appearing after a long interval than after a short one. The authors concluded that aging is associated with a deficit in orienting attention over time, due to deterioration in the brain mechanisms associated with temporal expectation [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref046" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>]. Successful use of the hazard function however, suggests that even though elderly adults could not direct their attention in time voluntarily, they could direct attention implicitly. The question we now ask is whether, in children, these two forms of temporal expectation are also developmentally dissociable?</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec002"><title>Method</title><sec id="sec003"><title>Participants</title><p>Thirty typically developing children (11 females) and 32 adults (24 females) took part in the study.

The participants were presented with a background visual display of a central stimulus and two peripheral boxes (see <xref rid="pone.0123625.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>). They were asked to focus their gaze on the central stimulus and to use their peripheral vision to detect a target (either a + or x figure) that would appear in one of the two boxes. The central stimulus changed its appearance to present the participant with information about where (Space Cue) or when (Time Cue) the target would appear (see <xref rid="pone.0123625.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>). The participant was asked to use this information to respond to detection of the target as quickly as possible, by pressing the left side of an external mouse. The participants did not have to discriminate the target but simply to detect it. The central stimulus was based on the shape of a clock-face, to simplify the cue for children and to emphasise the concept of ‘time’.</p><fig id="pone.0123625.g001" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0123625.g001</object-id><label>Fig 1</label><caption><title>The stimulus display of the spatial and temporal orienting task.</title><p>The figure above shows the central cue stimulus and peripheral target boxes.

In the Space Cue condition, either the left or right side of the clock face would brighten, indicating that the target would most likely appear in either the left or right box, respectively. In the Time Cue condition, either the short or long inner line, the “hand of the clock”, would brighten, indicating that the target would most likely appear either sooner (short line, 500ms) or later (long line, 1100ms). In the Neutral Cue condition, the entire central stimulus brightened, revealing no specific information about the appearance of the target, but which was relatively arousing. In the No Cue condition, the central stimulus did not change, revealing no information, nor providing any exogenous arousing properties.</p><p>A trial started with presentation of the background visual display of the central stimulus and two peripheral boxes, for a period of 600, 700, 800, 900 or 1000ms (i.e. the inter-trial interval), which was randomized across trials. The Cue stimulus then appeared for 100ms. The background visual display was then presented for one of the two stimulus-onset-asynchrony (SOA) intervals (500ms or 1100ms), after which the target appeared in one of the two boxes for 100ms. The trial ended with presentation of the background visual display for 1500ms, during which time the participants gave their speeded response.</p><p>The four Cue conditions were presented in separate blocks, in a randomized order. For the Space and Time Cue conditions, 32 valid and 8 invalid trials (40 trials) were presented in each of three blocks (120 trials altogether).

The training blocks contained wholly valid trials. After training, the participants were asked to identify the meaning of each of the cues to ensure understanding of the cues and were reminded to detect the targets as quickly as possible.</p></sec><sec id="sec005"><title>Procedure</title><p>The child participants were tested in a quiet room at the child’s school and the adult participants were tested in a quiet testing room in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne.</p></sec><sec id="sec006"><title>Data analysis</title><p>RTs of less than 100ms (errors of omission and extremely fast responses) were excluded from analyses.

First, children aged 6–16 (mean age 11 years) did not show a significant slowing in mean RT in response to the invalid Time cue compared with the valid Time cue, suggesting that they were not using the Time cues to voluntarily direct their attention in time. In contrast, the adult group did make use of the valid Time cues to speed their responses. Second, children, like adults, were able to make use of the hazard function and showed the variable FP effect, in that they made significantly faster responses to targets appearing at the long (1100ms) SOA compared with the short (500ms) SOA. Third, children, like adults, showed the asymmetric sequential effect, in that their responses were significantly slower for short SOA trials when the previous trial had a long SOA, but RTs for long SOA trials were uninfluenced by the previous trial’s SOA. Fourth, children, like adults, responded more slowly to spatially invalid cues than valid cues, suggesting both groups used the spatial cue to speed responding. These findings suggest first and foremost that children in this age range cannot use symbolic temporal cues to voluntarily direct their attention in time. In other words, the ability to voluntarily use Time cues to speed one’s RT is a skill that develops after early adolescence. This cross-sectional developmental study therefore suggests that the skill of using endogenous temporal cues to voluntarily orient attention through time is on a different developmental trajectory compared with the skill of using spatial cues. Our findings further show that even though these children cannot voluntarily direct attention in time, they can nevertheless make use of the implicit temporal characteristics of stimulus presentation (as shown by variable FP effects and sequential effects) to direct attention in time in a more automatic or involuntary manner.</p><p>The fact that children showed both variable foreperiod and sequential effects supports the findings of previous research investigating these effects in children [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>]. Moreover, the contrast between their successful use of implicit temporal information to direct attention, but unsuccessful use of endogenous temporal cues to voluntarily direct attention is reminiscent of the dissociation reported by Zanto and colleagues with older adults (mean age of 70 years old) [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref046" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>]. The use of cues to voluntarily direct attention through time may be a cognitive skill that develops from early adolescence and then diminishes in older adulthood.</p><p>Our data also have important cognitive implications by providing developmental evidence of dissociation between implicit and voluntary forms of temporal attention and thereby neatly complementing prior behavioural, electrophysiological and neuropsychological findings. For example, Rohenkohl et al (2011) and Breska and Deouell (2014) have shown that temporal predictability induced either implicitly by regular rhythms or voluntarily by endogenous cues independently speeded RTs in a target detection task, but their effects did not combine (interact) to improve performance to an even greater extent [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>]. Similarly, an electrophysiological marker of temporal preparation, the Contingent Negative Variation (CNV), has been shown to be modulated both by implicit (and automatic) sequential effects and by voluntary endogenous cues, though these effects were independent and additive, rather than mutually interactive [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>]. In addition, electrophysiological [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>] and neuroimaging [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>] evidence reveals that the neuroanatomical signatures of implicit and voluntary forms of temporal attention are quite distinct: implicit temporal attentional processes indexed by the variable FP effect recruit right prefrontal areas whereas voluntary temporal attention induced by endogenous cues recruits left-lateralised premotor and parietal areas.</p><p>It is important however to distinguish between implicit forms of temporal attention that are induced by the hazard function (and indexed by variable FP effects) from those that are induced by rhythmic stimulus presentation. Trivino et al (2011) found that patients with right prefrontal lesions were unable to benefit from endogenous temporal cues or from the hazard function [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref052" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. Patients however were unimpaired in their ability to benefit from temporally predictable rhythms. Our own findings in children indicate that implicit forms of temporal attention indexed by variable FP and sequential effects develop earlier than more voluntary forms of temporal attention. Trivino et al’s findings in patients suggest that rhythm-induced temporal expectation may develop even earlier, a finding supported by electrophysiological evidence that infants as young as 10 months old can detect a temporal deviant in a sequence of rhythmically (isochronously) presented stimuli [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref053" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>].</p><p>One obvious question that remains to be answered is why can’t the children in our sample use the Time cue to voluntarily orient their attention through time? One possibility is that the Time cues are conceptually more demanding than the Space cues, and even though the Time cues were simplified in this study compared with the cues from the original spatial and temporal orienting task [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>], the children did not appear to use them to aid attentional orienting.</p><p>Alternatively, the spatial uncertainty of target appearance may have diminished the utility of the Time cue for the children. In an electrophysiological investigation of cued target detection in adult volunteers, Doherty et al (2005) found that the amplitude of the sensory P1 component of the event-related potential was enhanced by spatial predictability but not by temporal predictability [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref054" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>]. If temporally predictable targets were also spatially predictable however, then the sensory P1 component was enhanced to an even greater extent than spatial predictability alone. Rohenkohl et al (2014) have recently confirmed these findings behaviourally, showing that perceptual discrimination was improved by endogenous temporal cues only if target location was also known in advance [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref055" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>]. In other words, temporal predictability is most effective when combined with spatial predictability. Indeed, preliminary evidence from our lab shows that children can use a Time cue to speed responding when the spatial location of the target is known in advance.</p><p>A final, more neural, possibility for why children did not benefit from the Time cues relates to the differential developmental maturation of discrete brain areas throughout childhood. An obvious explanation is that the brain regions necessary for voluntary orienting of attention in time develop later than the regions necessary for automatically or implicitly orienting in time. Functional neuroimaging investigations in adults however suggest that despite being functionally distinct, voluntary and automatic forms of temporal attention are actually neuroanatomically rather similar, recruiting the same regions of the brain. Endogenous temporal cues consistently activate left inferior parietal cortex, as compared either directly to spatial orienting [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>] or to neutral cue conditions [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref056" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0123625.ref057" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>], as do more automatic forms of orienting induced by visual trajectories [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref058" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>] or visual [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref059" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>] and auditory rhythms [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref060" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>]. It is possible, however, that different regions of the brain would be engaged by voluntary temporal orienting in the developing childhood brain as compared to the mature adult brain. Indeed, an example from the spatial orienting literature indicates that this is a plausible explanation: using MEG, Bayless and colleagues demonstrated that younger participants (7–8 years) performed a spatial orienting task with slower and more diffuse neural activation compared with the 12–13 year old group, who performed the task with a similar pattern of activation as adults [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref061" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>]. It may only be through experience and interaction with the dynamic world that the neurofunctional circuits underlying voluntary and automatic forms of attention converge in adulthood.</p><p>The endogenous temporal and spatial cues used here were intended to induce voluntary orienting. Spatial arrow cues, however, similar to those used here, are thought to elicit automatic, as well as voluntary, orienting [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref062" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref064" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>]. Given our evidence that children orient their attention in time automatically, but not voluntarily, it is possible that children were also using our spatial cues to orient attention in space automatically, rather than voluntarily. In support of this, Ristic and Kingstone (2009) have found that preschool children extracted spatial information from arrow cues both voluntarily <italic>and</italic> automatically, in an additive manner [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref065" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>]. Indeed, if the children in our own experiment were using spatial cues to orient attention automatically as well as voluntarily, this may explain the exceptionally large spatial validity effects we found in children compared to adults. Adults, however, also orient attention automatically and voluntarily to predictive arrow cues in a super-additive manner [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref064" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>]. An alternate explanation is that in the spatial condition the children may orient automatically to a greater degree than adults and then experience more difficulties with disengaging attention to reorient. It would therefore be advisable to repeat our experiment using spatial cues that engage only voluntary attention. Olk (2014) has recently shown that when both temporal and spatial cues are designed to induce voluntary orienting only (i.e. thick/thin lines indicate right/left or long/short), validity effects in adults are more comparable across the spatial and temporal dimensions [<xref rid="pone.0123625.ref066" ref-type="bibr">66</xref>]. We plan to use this better-matched version of the spatial and temporal orienting task in children to determine whether the distinct developmental trajectories we have found are due to differences in automatic/voluntary forms of orienting, or whether they truly reflect differences in processing of spatial versus temporal information.</p><p>In conclusion, the children in this study were able to make use of the Space cues to speed their responses to targets (using voluntary and/or automatic mechanisms), yet were unable to make use of the Time cues in the same way, suggesting distinct developmental trajectories for spatial and temporal orienting of attention and/or differences in the ability to use different types of cues. Nevertheless, children were able to implicitly use the temporally predictive information inherent in the passing of time to speed responses. The dissociation in the RT benefits of explicit versus implicit temporal information suggests that automatic orienting of attention in time develops earlier than the more voluntary orienting required
