Pezdek, Kathy; Hartman, Eileen F.
Child Development, v54 n4 p1015-23 Aug 1983
Examines the relationship between children's attention and comprehension of auditory and visual information on television. After viewing a videotape of "Sesame Street" with visual, auditory, or no distractors, 60 five-year-olds were asked comprehension questions. Findings indicated that children could process auditory and visual information from television while performing other activities. (Author/RH)
