Abstract
This study examined the development of endogenous orienting in children ages 6, 10, and 14 years and in adults. Participants were asked to respond with a button press to targets appearing in the left or right visual field. Cues that correctly or incorrectly indicated the target's location preceded the appearance of targets at stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) of 100 and 800 msec. Cues that signaled a target's appearance, but not its location, were also included. In addition to raw reaction times, orienting effects, benefits, and costs were examined. Two main findings emerged: First, for all participants except the youngest children effect sizes increased with increasing SOA. The absence of an SOA effect in the youngest group is interpreted as evidence of their difficulty in voluntarily adjusting the scope of their attentional focus. In addition, field asymmetries changed with the age of the respondent: 6-year-olds showed a right-field advantage, 10-year-olds failed to show any laterality differences, and 14-year-olds and adults responded more quickly to targets in the left than in the right field. This finding is consistent with developmental data on a number of cognitive processes, and is interpreted within a developmental framework of right-hemisphere dominance for spatial orienting (cf. Mesulam, 1998).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
