You Are Planning to Conduct a Study Using Children and Adolescents

You are planning to conduct a study using children and adolescents of various ages, in order to examine their performance in tasks involving perceptual asymmetries. In these tasks, each hemisphere receives different pieces of information. What issue might you need to consider in terms of experimental control before you conduct your study?

A) Younger children perform more poorly as a result of a limited attention span.
B) As children age, they become less able to integrate perceptual information.
C) A young child has a more dominant right hemisphere, and will perform better.
D) An older child has a more mature corpus callosum, and will perform better.
