  • Title: Reality perceptions of television: a comparison of emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, and nonhandicapped children.
    Author: Sprafkin J, Kelly E, Gadow KD.
    Journal: J Dev Behav Pediatr; 1987 Jun; 8(3):149-53. PubMed ID: 3597783.
    Abstract:
    The Stony Brook Videotest (SBV), a measure of reality perceptions of television programs and commercials, was administered to 38 emotionally disturbed (ED), 35 learning disabled (LD), and 159 nonhandicapped elementary school children. The ED and LD children scored significantly lower than the comparison group, indicating that ED and LD children are less able to distinguish between reality and fantasy on television. The clinical implications of these findings and possible remedial actions are discussed.
