A new study confirming what was already known

Young children don't learn new words from TV.

(And yes, that includes TV as "background noise" - what that seems to do is prevent children from fully focusing on the world around them, again, keeping them from learning to their full potential. Just because your kid is playing while the TV is on all day, as some people claim, does not mean it's harmless.)

That's very strange, because my family tells me I went around repeating words I heard on shows like Sesame Street all the time when I was a toddler.

1. How old were you?
2. Did you know what they meant?
