TV Viewing and Childrens Cognitive Skills

Abstract We conducted a longitudinal study with fifth graders in order to examine the relations of TV viewing and children's cognitive skills. In Time 1, the level of TV exposure was measured, and six kinds of cognitive skills were measured in Time 1 and Time 2. Path analyses were conducted to examine whether the amount of Time 1 TV viewing could predict the level of Time 2 cognitive skills. As a result, longer Time 1 TV viewing predicted higher Time 2 spatial skills and lower Time 2 linguistic skills' scores. Also, longer educational programme viewing predicted higher score of social rules' comprehension, which is one of the sub-skills in Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R).
