jan 3, 2004 - Video Deficit Effect Formally Named

Description:

Researchers Daniel R. Anderson and Tiffany Pempek formally named and published the definitive account of the video deficit effect, demonstrating through controlled experiments that infants and toddlers learn significantly less from pre-recorded video than from identical live face-to-face interaction. It provided the scientific foundation for challenging the entire category of infant-directed educational television.
