The Effect of Computer Software on Preschool Children's Developmental Gains.
Haugland, Susan W.
Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, v3 n1 p15-30 1992
Investigated the effects of developmental and nondevelopmental computer software on four- and five-year-old children's intelligence, creativity, and self-esteem. Also assessed the effect of supplementing developmental software with related activities. Children exposed to developmental software supplemented with activities had gains in more areas than the other two groups, whereas children exposed to nondevelopmental software had significant losses in creativity.
