screen and real life. It will be more appropriate for children to watch only when they have the ability to perceive that the same object can
exist in both environments. Children try to understand what the content presented to them on the screen means rather than its educational nature, and they experience cognitive fatigue and confusion. Reflections, sounds and fast shots and flashbacks
