<p class=MsoNormal>Re<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>As just one example of the kinds of issues involved,
people once<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>claimed that exposing infants to TV would increase their
exposure<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>to words and improve their rate of language learning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Unfortunately, more recent studies have showed the
opposite:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>an infant's rate of learning language *decreases* with
the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>amount of exposure to TV. Far more important than
passive<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>exposure is the emotional involvement of the child with<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>caregivers and siblings in actively using language.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Do you have any more information on these studies?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Not work related but as having a one year old son and no
television in the house ammunition to keep it that way with my wife saying we
should get a TV would be useful ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>
