Title: Re: Fred Rogers

Laura Berg's textbook, Development through the Lifespan, which I'm using now, says:

"When different types of programs are compared, ones with slow-paced action and easy-to-follow narratives, such as 'Mr. Roger's Neighborhood' and 'Barney and Friends,' lead to more elaborate make-believe play.  Those presenting quick, disconnected bits of information do not (Singer & Singer, 1998; Tower et al., 1979)."
