Page "Sesame Street" Paragraph 34

As of 2001, there were over 1, 000 research studies regarding Sesame Streets efficacy, impact, and effect on American culture.

The CTW solicited the Educational Testing Service ( ETS ) to conduct summative research on the show.

ETS's two " landmark " summative evaluations, conducted in 1970 and 1971, demonstrated that the show had a significant educational impact on its viewers.

These studies have been cited in other studies of the effects of television on young children.

Additional studies conducted throughout Sesame Streets history demonstrated that the show continued to have a positive effect on its young viewers.
