Educational Studies 250ME - Special Topics in Educational Studies: 'Children and Media'

This course explores the cognitive processes underlying how children understand and engage with screen media, as well as the effects media can have on their development. Through an examination of theories and research, we will analyze how factors like attention, memory, and comprehension shape children's interactions with media. Additionally, we will consider the broader impacts of media on social, emotional, and cognitive development, equipping students with a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between children and screen-based content.

Prereq: PSYCH-100 or AP Psychology.
