Hello, I am Becca Heyworth. I am a senior. I am from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I am a massive theater kid and I love books and Taylor Swift.
My opinion is that either one could be viewed as accurate or inaccurate, but I feel like article one is accurate, whereas the other, article is inaccurate. Though both articles were quite short, article one contained “an article read by several other scientists with expertise in the subject matter, who provide feedback regarding the quality of the manuscript before it is accepted for publication” (Adams, 27). One also shows the research on TV exposure and shares that “the objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that early television exposure (at ages 1 to 3) is associated with attentional problems at age 7” (Christakis, 2004). And once again though both articles were short, the second article lacked in major information. It feels like the author wrote it in a very short period of time, and there was no prior research done before writing this article.
I like to think I have a basic understanding of psychology and how in the last years it has continued to advance. I don't think I really would have understood the articles without reading chapter two. I liked how it provided the information that the data they currently have could be flawed because of the way they obtained the information.
Thank you so much for reading! <3
