How Young Children Spend Their Time: Television and Other Activities.
Huston, Aletha C.; Wright, John C.; Marquis, Janet; Green, Samuel B.
Developmental Psychology, v35 n4 p912-25 Jul 1999
Examined television viewing over three years among two cohorts of 2- and 4-year olds. Found that viewing declined with age. With age, time in reading and educational activities increased on weekdays but declined on weekends, and sex differences in time-use patterns increased. Increased time in educational activities, social interaction, and video games was associated with less time watching entertainment television. (Author/KB)
