Development of Television Viewing Patterns in Early Childhood: A Longitudinal Investigation.
Huston, Aletha C.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v26 n3 p409-20 May 1990
A 2-year study concludes that cognitive and developmental changes are less important determinants of children's television use than are family patterns and external variables affecting the opportunity to view. Subjects were 326 children within 3 months of their third or fifth birthdays at the beginning of the study and their families, most of which were intact. (RH)
