Performance-Based Tests of Attention and Memory in Long-Term Mindfulness Meditators and Demographically Matched Nonmeditators (2012, methodology): “This study used the Attention Network Task (ANT; Fan et al. 2002 ), which measures three discrete but overlapping forms of attention: alerting, orienting, and conflict monitoring.”
The Development of Executive Attention: Contributions to the Emergence of Self-Regulation (2005, methodology): “We have recently adapted the ANT (Fan et al., 2002) for use with children as young as 4 years of age (Rueda, Fan, et al.”
Early childhood bilingualism leads to advances in executive attention: Dissociating culture and language* (2011, methodology): “ALERTING, ORIENTING, and EXECUTIVE CONTROL – in the executive attention system (Fan et al., 2002; Rueda et al., 2004).”
A Randomized Trial of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children: Promoting Mindful Attention to Enhance Social-Emotional Resiliency in Children (2010, methodology): “Jha et al. (2007) used the Attention Network Test (Fan et al. 2002) to examine three attentional subsystems: alerting, orienting, and conflict monitoring.”
The activation of attentional networks (2005, methodology): “In support of this idea, we found the spatial cue condition to reduce the flanker effect as though a smaller focus of attention is obtained when the person is specifically cued to the center arrow (Fan et al., 2002).”
Gorilla in our midst: An online behavioral experiment builder (2018, neutral): “However, as our planned comparisons for this group are simple (a t-test for mean RT and accuracy for incongruent versus congruent trials), we calculated power using the reported mean and standard deviation values from Fan et al. (2002) – Rueda et al.”
The Restorative Effects of Redesigning the Schoolyard (2015, neutral): “Reaction time data cannot be interpreted in the presence of a high error rate and 70% accuracy is recommended as the minimum required (Berman et al., 2008; Fan et al., 2002).”
Goal-directed memory: the role of cognitive control in older adults' emotional memory. (2005, methodology): “The Attentional Network Test was developed to measure the processing efficiency of three attentional networks defined in anatomical and functional terms (Fan et al., 2002).”
Attention Restoration Theory: A systematic review of the attention restoration potential of exposure to natural environments (2016, neutral): “The simpler attentional processes of alerting (becoming aware of something; Jonides et al. 2008; Fan et al. 2002) and orienting (taking actions to focus on a stimulus) should be less affected by the trials of modern living because they demand relatively few cognitive resources.”
The Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Polymorphism: Relations to the Tonic–Phasic Dopamine Hypothesis and Neuropsychiatric Phenotypes (2004, background): “Similarly, tasks examining the ability to maintain a consistent behavioral program in the face of distraction could help dissect the contributions of reciprocal controls over cognitive stability and plasticity (Fan et al, 2002).”
