Visual Processing of Televised Information by Japanese and American Children.
Rolandelli, David R.; And Others
Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v23 n1 p5-24 Mar 1992
Compares visual processing of televised information by 85 Japanese and 111 U.S. kindergarten and grade 4 students. As predicted, Japanese children use a more visually oriented television processing strategy in understanding program content. U.S. children score higher on a comprehension test, perhaps because of cultural differences in testing expectations. (SLD)
