Preferred term

effects of television on imagination  

Definition

  • The question of whether and how television viewing impacts children's imagination has been debated since the medium became part of everyday life, and there is still no consensus on this issue. On the one hand, television viewing is believed to produce a passive intellect and to reduce imaginative capacities.
