{"doi":"10.1016/j.cogdev.2022.101233","title":"The FORAGEKID Game: Hybrid-Foraging as a new way to study aspects of executive function in development","abstract":"In hybrid foraging, observers search for multiple exemplars of multiple targets (e.g. look for yellow and purple perler-beads in the handicrafts box). Adults can perform hybrid searches for, literally, hundreds of different target objects. How does this ability to handle memory load develop during childhood? We compared performance under different memory loads at different ages (5–6, 11–12, and +18 years-old) in our FORAGEKID hybrid foraging video game, where observers searched for different moving real-world toys. Especially under higher memory loads, younger children show an ineffective target switching search compared to a strategy featuring longer “runs” of one type of target, implemented by older children and adults. All observers follow similar \"quitting\" rules for moving to the next screen. The results show that FORAGEKID could be a useful tool for understanding the development of aspects of executive function: combining memory, attentional control, and decision/strategy processes within a single enjoyable task.","journal":"Cognitive Development","year":2022,"id":282707,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":7,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9518,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2022-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":402215,"name":"Jeremy M.
