LEVELS OF CONCENTRATION/ATTENTION
On average we could say that optimum concentration would be 1 minute for every year of life. So a five year old would be 5 minutes and a 12 year old 12 minutes etc. The are variables however - level of interest, level of distractions. Most adults would probably lose concentration after about 20 minutes.
