Computers and Young Children: Software Types, Social Contexts, Gender, Age, and Emotional Responses.

Shade, Daniel D.

Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, v5 n2 p177-209 1994

Videotaped four- to eight-year olds as they interacted with computer software at different levels of developmental appropriateness. Facial expressions and other affective behaviors were analyzed as a function of age, presence of a peer, and appropriateness of software. Found that responses were mediated more by age, gender, and social condition than by the developmental appropriateness of the software. (HTH)
