Abstract
Children's visual orientation to and recognition of events presented in a fast‐paced and a slow‐paced television program was examined as a function of sound effects. Sixty‐four children were randomly assigned to one of four viewing conditions which crossed two levels of sound effects with two levels of pace. As expected, sound effects increased children's visual orientation to program events which had been marked by sound effects, but only in the fast‐paced program.Keywords
