[Corpora-List] Average Daily Word Exposure

[Paul Johnston]

Re

As just one example of the kinds of issues involved, people once

claimed that exposing infants to TV would increase their exposure

to words and improve their rate of language learning.

 

Unfortunately, more recent studies have showed the opposite:

an infant's rate of learning language *decreases* with the

amount of exposure to TV.  Far more important than passive

exposure is the emotional involvement of the child with

caregivers and siblings in actively using language.

 

Do you have any more information on these studies?

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 ;-)
