The Ups and Downs of Attention to Television.
Hawkins, Robert P.; And Others
Communication Research, v18 n1 p53-76 Feb 1991
Investigates the visual attention of children (ages 3.5 to 6.5 years) to short segments of the television program "Sesame Street." Finds an early increase in attention to random segments, suggesting an attempt to deal with difficult but seemingly accessible content. Finds a quick decrease of attention to segments with incomprehensible language. (SR)
