that whether or not TV viewing is detrimental to young children is dependent on a combination of factors, and, therefore, under the right circumstances, it can be beneficial. Linebarger
and Vaala (2010) conducted an extensive, systematic review of the literature on this subject. These authors point out that, at present, the empirical knowledge on the effect of screen media
[i.e., video watched on television or computer] on the language development of infants and toddlers is limited. However, based on their review, they argue that young children can learn from

framework that consists of the childs transactions within overall environmental contexts. This view holds that the effect of screen media depends on the degree to which the media content reflects
