Viewing children through television
1981
Kelly, Hope | Gardner, Howard
Abstract: Six chapters by various second generation television researchers address recent studies in the continuing effort to understand and define how television's unique communication process works and to assess television impact on human cognitive development. The chapter topics include: the relationship between real life and the child's ability to distinguish between varieties of television fare; children's appreciation and understanding of the television superhero; how the child comes to understand materials encountered on television, particularly those in narrative form; and cross-media studies of television and books to distinguish which effects are due primarily to the medium itself and which are more readily attributed to general developmental factors. Two chapters are devoted to theoretical projections that seek to combine present diverse lines of research and identify a program for future study. An index is included. (emc).
