Answer to Question 1

Rice's study suggests that television promotes preschoolers' language development. Many children's programs contain simplified speech, repetitions, recasts, and elaborations on word meanings can enhance acquisition of vocabulary and syntax. Parents may use television as a video picture book teaching aid, engaging their children in conversation about the content of the program.
