Hello Addyson,
I also believe that both articles have inaccuracies in them, causing them to lose credibility. The cross-sectional research isn't a good thing I think as well, them going with the less accurate form of research instead of the more accurate one (Longitudinal research) shows they probably need some more work on their research about children's attention spans being affected by TV. Also, the point about how surveys aren't the most efficient is really good, not everyone will fill out a survey truthfully or even do the survey. From the textbook readings, I also found the different forms of research to be interesting. Also knowing the difference between longitudinal research and cross-sectional research was very helpful for this discussion.
