Teaching Emotionally Disturbed Children to Discriminate Reality from Fantasy on Television.
Sprafkin, Joyce; And Others
Journal of Special Education, v21 n4 p99-107 Win 1987-88

Results of the intervention found that the subjects made significantly more accurate reality-fantasy discriminations concerning television program content than a control group; however, the curriculum was not effective in increasing knowledge about commercials.
