Conceptual vs. operational1. Conceptual-an explanation or definition of somethinga. Ex: attention is the ability to focus on a taskii. Operational- how your conceptual attention is carried out through various methods carried out through the scientific methodb. How can we measure attention?i. Visual orientation; how long a child is physically watching somethingii. EEG/EKG measures; psychological experiments of the brainiii. Reaction time tasks; having a child watch a TV show while also trying to pick up on a beep.1. This tests a child’s focus of media contentiv. Ask the child questions to determine their comprehension of the media contentTEL T317 1nd Edition Lecture 6 Outline of Last Lecture I. Experiment: uses and basic designII. Developmental differences in processing mass mediaIII. Piaget’s TheoryIV. Assumptions of Piaget’s TheoryV. Stages of DevelopmentVI. Limitations of Piaget’s TheoryOutline of Current Lecture II. Information processing perspectiveIII. Processing capacity and media exposureIV. Comparing Piaget and Information ProcessingV. Video Clip ExamplesVI. Attention (beginning)Current Lecturea. Information Processing perspectivei. Compare your mind to a computerii. Hardware= your genetic makeup and mental processesb. Software=your environmental influencesc. Backgroundi. Assumptionsii. Mental capacity limited (increases with age)iii. Only so many mental resources availableIII. Nature of the task is importanta. Processing capacity and media exposurei. Older children are better to consider multiple cues or scenes when interpreting a TV portrayal b. Ex: children will recap the show they watched and the advertisements because they extract the information from media that they deem “meaningful”These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.IV. Likewise, complex interactive video game would tax working memory of young childa.
