Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 1224))

Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to examine the immediate effects of viewing and listening fantastical events on 4- and 5-year-old children. The result suggested that listening to fantastical stories for about 10 min disrupted children’s inhibitory control, but no such negative effect was found after viewing them. Parents should be alert to this negative effect.
