    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Incidental learning occurs alongside intentional learning.
    • The role of visual attention in incidental learning is debated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between visual attention and incidental learning in children.
    • To examine how attention to incidental stimuli affects recall during discrimination training.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty children (10–11 years old) participated.
    • A polymetric eye-movement recorder tracked visual attention.
    • Incidental learning was assessed through recall of stimuli not directly attended to during discrimination training.

    Main Results:

    • Incidental stimulus recall was highest at the beginning and end of training.
    • Visual attention to incidental stimuli did not correlate with training progress.
    • Individual differences in attention predicted recall, but not training level.

    Conclusions:

    • Curvilinear incidental learning is likely driven by higher-order information processing, not just direct visual attention.
    • Direct visual attention alone does not fully explain incidental learning patterns in children during training.
