Effects of restricting first graders' TV-viewing on leisure time use, IQ change, and cognitive style (1980) · Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology · doi
Prior studies have failed to demonstrate significant overall differences in school achievement between children who watch TV and those who do not. There is a need for more research on the effects of TV viewing on cognitive development in children. The study aims to address this gap by investigating the effects of restricting TV viewing on first graders' leisure time use, IQ change, and cognitive style.

Future studies could examine the effects of restricting TV viewing on older children or adolescents. Future studies could investigate the effects of different types of TV programming (e.g. educational vs. aggressive) on cognitive development. Future studies could use more objective measures of TV viewing habits, such as TV diaries or electronic monitoring devices.

The findings show a positive relationship between parent–child co‐viewing of television and the cognitive performance of the child as far as a specific programme was concerned, but long‐term effects of parent–child co‐viewing on the general cognitive development of the child could not be established owing to the limitations of the study.

Further research is needed to develop effective interventions to mitigate the negative effects of screen time on adolescents' cognitive functions. Studies should investigate the impact of screen time on cognitive functions in different age groups and populations. Research should also explore the effects of different types of screen time, such as gaming or social media use, on cognitive functions.
