According to Bandura theory in behaviorism, behavior performs on television is being observed and imitated by the viewers. Three major mechanisms for the behavioral effects of television appear to have been identified: imitation, arousal, and disinhibition, but they should be considered as complementary rather than competing explanations.
Another research has indicated that there are a variety of ways in which television can influences cognitive skills, for example television appears to have an effect on viewers’ spatial abilities, imagination, and task perseverance. It has been demonstrated that watching slow zooms into the detail of a large picture teaches children visual analytic skills . Similarly, watching changes in camera perspectives can enhance children’s’ spatial perspective taking. Research has also demonstrated a relationship between the pacing of television programming and task persistence. Whereas fast-paced programming can make children more impulsive, whereas slower paced programs have been shown to increase their persistence in everyday school activity.
