本研究是一项关于学龄前儿童观看《芝麻街》及其词汇发展的纵向调查。从两个队列中收集了五个为期一周的看电视日记，为期两年；其中一组从3岁到5岁(n=160)，另一组从5岁到7岁(n=166)。儿童和家庭的测量包括儿童的词汇技能、性别、兄弟姐妹的存在、父母教育、父母鼓励观看《芝麻街》，以及父母对电视的积极态度。跨年龄的多元回归和年龄内的回归表明，在3岁到5岁之间观看《芝麻街》会产生积极的影响，而在5岁到7岁之间，观看《芝麻街》的好处会逐渐减少。观看其他类型的儿童节目，如卡通片，无论是积极的还是消极的影响都不明显。结果表明，《芝麻街》的内容和呈现形式非常适合学龄前儿童的词汇发展，不受父母教育、家庭规模、儿童性别和父母态度的影响。这一发现表明，指导使用视频媒体是可行的。
The present study was a longitudinal investigation of preschool children's viewing of “Sesame Street” and their vocabulary development. Five 1-week diaries of television viewing were collected for 2 years from 2 cohorts of children; 1 group was followed from ages 3 to 5 (n= 160) and another from ages 5 to 7 (n= 166). Child and family measures included children's vocabulary skills, gender, presence of siblings, parent education, parent encouragement of “Sesame Street” viewing, and parent positive attitudes about television. Cross-age multiple regressions, in conjunction with within-age regressions, suggested a positive effect of “Sesame Street” viewing from ages 3 to 5, with declining benefits from ages 5 to 7. Neither positive nor negative effects were evident for viewing other kinds of children's programs, such as cartoons. Results suggest that the content and presentation formats of “Sesame Street” are well suited to preschoolers' vocabulary development, independent of parent education, family size, child gender, and parental attitudes. The findings suggest the feasibility of tutorial uses of the video medium.
