I don’t know enough to know the answer to this, but does the paper address the chance that people that have a cognitive decline watch more tv and it is an effect not a cause?
- paufernandez 7y agoThat's exactly what I was thinking. The assumption that the TV is the culprit is so powerful that is not even questioned.
