From the website: This report is an update of the Children and Interactive Media: A Compendium of Current Research and Directions for the Future report to the Markle Foundation from October 2000. In this update, we examine the literature that has been published on the topic between June 2000 and May 2002, focusing on children’s in-home use of interactive technologies (see Wartella, O’Keefe, & Scantlin, 2000, for details on our search strategy). In addition, we have organized our review of this literature according to the categories of the original research compendium, including children’s use and access to interactive media, cognitive and social outcomes of such interactive media use, health and safety issues, and policy concerns.
