EFFECT OF CHILDREN EXPOSURE TO ELECTRONIC MEDIA

For this assignment, you will select a topic for your grant proposal (i.e., Final Project due in Week Six). Then you will write the Specific Aims section and create a preliminary bibliography. You will conduct a search in the Ashford University Library and/or on PubMedCentral to locate at least 10 scholarly peer-reviewed articles that are relevant and that support your funding request.  Create your preliminary annotated bibliography and ensure that your resources are relevant and supportive of the Specific Aims as well as the Background and Significance sections of your grant proposal (the Background and Significance sections will be written in Week Three). See a sample annotated bibliography from the Ashford Writing Center for assistance.

Compose the Specific Aims section following the Grant Proposal Guidelines. See the Sample Grant Proposal Template as an example and use it as a template for your Grant Proposal. The assignment should be one page, excluding the bibliography.

The effect of children’s exposure to television and video games is a new concept in the study of cognitive psychology. It has become conventional knowledge that high exposure to video games and television has adverse implications on the cognitive development of children. While a few research data opposes this assumption, most recent researchers use historical data to highlight the correlation between a  child’s exposure to electronic media and the cognitive outcomes (Xu, Wen, and Rissel, 2015).
