Preferred term

media exposure of infants and toddlers  

Definition

  • Since the 1990s, there has been a large increase in age-appropriate programming for infants and young children as well as a recent increase in television exposure during infancy. The effects of background television exposure on play, and the fact that infants learn less from television than from live demonstrations, limit what infants can gain from television exposure.
