Mass Media and Young Children's Development by Aletha Huston Stein - 1972Recently, public and professional attention has focused
on the few television programs designed to contribute positively to
the development of cognitive and social skills. Simultaneously, empirical
literature devoted to observational learning and imitation has
burgeoned in the field of child development. In the following discussion,
direct studies of the media are integrated with those of
imitative learning in order to draw conclusions and implications
concerning media effects on "young children," that is, those of preschool
and early elementary school age. The review is restricted to
studies of publicly distributed media, primarily television and films,
which are the subject of most publications.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 71, No. 2. |
