Of Mind and Media.

Salomon, Gavriel

Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n5 p375-80 Jan 1997

Explores mind/media relationships and discusses how culture's symbolic forms affect learning and thinking. The socially held and communicated views of various media appear to affect the way children handle them, the depth of their information processing, and what they actually learn from them. Media's symbolic forms of representation have both positive and negative affects on children's cognitive apparatus. (20 references) (MLH)
