In today's society, it seems that we are bombarded with a ton of information in a short amount of time, which is fine for adults with developed brains. If you were to watch television or movies, they cut away to different scenes quite often and skip through months and years in a short time span. If parents tend to plop their small children in front of a television, these children are bombarded with many different images (cut scenes, etc.) in a short time span. If they get used to their focus constantly being shifted during these shows, then for them, does that become the norm? Then you put them in a classroom where they have to focus on one subject at a time, and a classroom that does not change, but remains the same, unlike how they had to process these shows that they were watching, hence boredom and a lack of focus. I know that there are other causes as well, but I was wondering if anybody had any links regarding studies done on a link between television and ADHD.
