A study conducted at the University of Washington suggests that time in front of the television correlates with attention problems later in life. In fact, each hour of television viewed daily between the ages of one and three increased the likelihood of disorders like ADHD by nearly ten percent at age seven... Another part of the TV problem has a lot to do with Healy’s notion of “depriving the brain of the other experiences.” In a study that tested the effectiveness of so called “Baby DVDs” like “Baby Einstein” and “Brainy Baby,” researchers found time spent watching these programs could actually slow down the language development of babies. The study suggests that this is primarily because babies spend so little time awake. If babies pass this precious time watching TV instead of interacting with their parents, then they will miss out on crucial developmental experiences. ... brainconnection.positscience/growing-brains-meet-growing-tv-lineups-the-effects-of-television-on-cognitive-development/
