Children's reported investment of mental effort when viewing child and adult television programs

The present study was designed to examine developmental differences in children's active, conscious cognitive processing of television program information during home viewing. Specifically, the study focused on examining (1) relationships among children's ages, the types of television programs Viewed, and reported amounts of invested mental effort when televiewing, and (2) contributions of factors in children's home viewing environments to reported levels of mental effort investment. Subjects were a convenient sample of 40 second-grade, 42 fourth-grade, and 34 sixth-grade children and their parents. Parental questionnaires provided data on parental participation during the children's televiewing. Individual interviews with the children provided information on the child's performance of other activities such as playing when viewing, the child's familiarity with different television programs, and reported amounts of mental effort invested when viewing child and adult types of programs

Body, mind, spirit, voice : Helen Kemp and the development of the children's choir movement

The purpose of this research was to document the contributions of Helen Kemp to the development of the children's choir movement. As a result of her professional contributions, Kemp became an internationally recognized specialist in the area of children's choirs and the child's voice. A brief overview of the children's choir movement in the United States is included to provide a context from which Helen Kemp's role in the children's choir movement can be more clearly understood. Helen Kemp (1918-)received vocal and church music training at Westminster Choir College. As a result of early experiences as a vocalist, children's choir director, and mother, Kemp developed an interest in child vocal development and children's choirs. After moving to Oklahoma with her husband in 1949, Kemp established many of her children's choir philosophies and techniques while serving as children's choir director at First Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma City

Financial development, poverty, and human development in the Fintech age

This paper examines the effect of financial development, measured by broad money, domestic credit, and mobile money, on poverty and human development in the Southeast Asian economies, using the dataset from 1990 to 2017. The findings suggest that broad money and domestic credit contribute to poverty reduction and promote human development. The role of mobile money is seen to have a statistically positive impact only if we analyse it with human development. Additionally, when we take a closer look at the different stage of economic, political, and institutional development in this region, we found that the positive effect of broad money and domestic credit is mostly found only in the less developed and less democratic countries. The mobile money, on the other hand, is found to statistically promote the human development in both groups of countries, but there is no statistical relationship for poverty analysis
