The article discusses a study where children and adults watched an episode of Sesame Street while undergoing fMRI scans to analyze their neural responses and compare how child and adult brains process information. The study found correlations between child neural patterns and test scores, showing how natural viewing can provide insights into child development and learning.

ARITICLE SUMMARY

BY, WENDELL MORGAN

The Article titled Neural Activity During Natural Viewing Of

Sesame Street Statistically Predicts Test Scores in Early Childhood was written by Jessica f

Cantion and Rosa Li and published on January 3 2013.This article was an experience about the

how a child brain develops using a different approach than normal. Children spend a lot of time

watching tv and absorbing new information, Naturalistic through is away to find out childrens

thought process while viewing a movie or a video.

Into todays world children learn new information in the classroom, and listening and

learning from friends and family. Science has used short stimuli to observe the neuroimaging of

a childs brain. In this experimental study, children and adults will be watching a video called

sesame street and their neural activity will be studied on a (MRI). This study gave science the

ability to collect neural measurements of children unconstrained thought viewing the real

world. This study of scanning kids started twenty years ago, but there has been a great deal of
advancement since then. The children and the adults watched a thirty-minute episode of

Sesame Street and Jessica and Rosa watched for the similarities of neural responses between

the two groups with functional magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).

The (MRI) scan correlated the whole neural time course at every voxel between child and

adult, and with this they were able to measure each child on how adult-like and mature their

neural pattern activation was at each voxel. This study shows how children process things in

their brains in the real world. The thought of someone studying your brain while you watch T.V

shows us how great science is and that just makes you sit back and think of all the things that

are waiting for us in the near future.

Measuring the child brain and the adult brain at the same time to see what the child thought

process was compared to the adults is fantastic, maybe they will expand the research and find

out whats wrong with todays teenagers and young adults.
