Visuospatial attention networks are represented in both hemispheres, with right-hemisphere dominance. Little is known about the lateralization of the attention networks in children. The objective of the current study was to generate an adaptation of the Attention Network Test for Children (ANT-C) (Rueda et al., 2004) and the Lateralized Attention Network Test (LANT) (Greene et al., 2008) to create a children’s version of the latter (LANT-C).
