Forty-four children, ranging in age from 4 to 7 years, were interviewed regarding their television viewing habits, their attitudes toward television commercials, their demands for their mothers to buy cereals and toys, and their interpretation of the reality of commercials.

Children were able to name their specific preferences and dislikes for television commercials and they tended to prefer commercials which were related to their interests.
