We are conducting a meta-analysis of experimental studies looking at the impact of media form (e.g., pace) on executive function (tested post and/or pre media exposure) in children. There seems to be a limited number of studies, at present we have only identified those in the list below, if you know of any studies (including unpublished studies from your own lab) please get in touch.

The most useful research in the over-arching area of visual processing speed is presently being done by Dr C Kaggeyama, Board Certified in Vision Development & Therapy, 344 E Hamilton Ave, Campbell California, 9508, 408 376 2700. Any study of pace of media presentation should, I believe, assess baseline processing speed of subjects; this varies widely even in high IQ children.
