Highlights• By age 7, children show adult-like task-set contingent attentional capture in behavior (top-down visual attentional control). • Children showed no behavioral evidence for multisensory enhancement of attention capture by visual objects paired with sounds. • But 9-year-olds adult-like EEG topographic patterns, differing when elicited by multisensory vs. purely visual distractors. • Traditional N2pc analyses showed no N2pc component in any of the children groups, and no multisensory modulations in adults. • Electrical neuroimaging of well-known ERP components is more sensitive to developmental change in neurocognitive processes.
