Search Strategy:
"Our comprehensive, systematic search strategy included keyword searching, evaluation of references included in eligible articles and review articles, searching of conference proceedings, personal contact with authors working in the field, and hand searching of any journals that included four or more eligible studies. Search terms included the exact phrase, “video deficit,” or combinations of: (video, television, dvd, tv, program*, educational media, baby media) AND (children, preschoolers, toddlers, infants, babies) AND (learn*, understand*). To provide coverage of all four major disciplines relevant to this area of research and its relevant grey literature, we first searched PsycInfo, Communication Abstracts, Communication and Mass Media Complete, ERIC, Medline, and Google Scholar. We then searched the reference lists of review articles and eligible articles identified through these searches. Next we searched conference proceedings of the Society for Research in Child Development and the International Conference on Infant Studies (note that Communication and Mass Media Complete, ERIC, and Google Scholar also index conference proceedings, which were included in the initial search). Finally, we contacted authors and searched journals that occurred more than four times in our list of eligible reports. "
