Bērniem, kuriem lasa priekšā salīdzinājumā ar bēriem, kuri skatās TV vai DVD programmas ir lielāks vārdu krājums.
Hamburg – Television is basically not good for babies’ brains, according to a German magazine for doctors. Even special television programmes and DVDs designed for babies that claim to promote brain development conversely are more detrimental to children’s brains, said the Neu-Isenburg-based magazine.
Babies learned injuriously from television, the report said in reference to the work by brain researcher Professor Manfred Spitzer of Ulm. Babies cannot process the flood of images and noises emanating from the dead box, the report said. Spitzer said a US study showed that a group of babies aged nine to 12 months old were read to in Chinese, while another group of babies in the same age group listened to the same stories from a television. The children in the first group could recognize the Chinese sounds after two months, but those in the TV group didn’t learn anything. Brain researchers say it is dangerous when television displaces a grown-up or a sibling reading to a baby. According to another study of 1,000 families with small children between eight and 16 months who were frequently read to, those children knew 8 per cent more words than average. The vocabulary of children who watched a lot of “baby TV” or DVDs for babies was 20 per cent lower.
