This work presents an overview of the influence of television on children based on a review of three decades of empirical research on its effects on child development.

The report is organized in four parts. The first is a developmental and educational introduction where the specific problem of television is studied from a more general framework comprising the most salient theories of child development and education at the present time.

The second includes an updated research review on the effects of television on the child’s development of different abilities and qualities based on evidence from empirical research —a functional genetic perspective is adopted.

The third deals with problems involving the “ecology of children’s television”. That is, it analyses the child’s vital contexts in order to understand the impact of television on those developmental contexts. There is a chapter centred on the family and another on educational television.

The fourth and final part outlines different proposals directed at public institutions favouring the two pillars considered of crucial importance in the report: promoting research and design of quality audiovisual productions.
