From the author: In this experiment, we investigated whether adult mediation during a cultural children's program stimulates children's knowledge of and attitudes towards opera. One hundred twenty four children were randomly assigned to one of two viewing conditions. In the mediation condition a coviewing adult provided children with additional comments and showed a positive attitude towards opera. In the non-mediation condition a coviewing adult did not give comments and showed a neutral attitude towards the program watched. Children in the mediation condition recalled significantly more opera information. In both the mediation and the non-mediation condition children's attitude towards opera was stimulated by the cultural children's program.
