  • A Capacity Model of Children's Comprehension of Educational Content on Television
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 428 878 PS 027 458 AUTHOR Fisch, Shalom M. TITLE A Capacity Model of Children's Comprehension of Educational Content on Television. PUB DATE 1999-04-00 NOTE 43p.; Paper presented at the Biennial Meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development (63rd, Albuquerque, NM, April 15-18, 1999). PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Audience Response; *Cognitive Processes; *Educational Television; Learning Processes; Models; *Television Viewing; *Young Children IDENTIFIERS *Working Memory ABSTRACT Many studies have shown that children of various ages learn from educational television, but the studies have not explained how children extract and comprehend educational content from these television programs.

The model consists of a theoretical construct with three basic components (processing of narrative, processing of educational content, and distance--the degree to which the educational content is integral or tangential to the narrative), plus several governing principles that determine the allocation of resources between narrative and educational content. The paper reviews the empirical research for characteristics of both television programs and viewers that affect the allocation of resources under the model, as well as developmental influences on the relevant processing. Finally, the paper discusses
