Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author hypothesizes that TV advertising doesn’t have a strong impact on children’s cereal preferences. This hypothesis is based on a study that compared the cereal preferences of children who had watched no television with children who had watched average amounts of television. The study showed that both groups strongly preferred sugary cereals that were heavily advertised on television.

Notable Assumptions

The argument assumes that the group of children who had watched no TV was not indirectly impacted in some way by the TV ads. Additionally, it could be the case that the children who watched TV were swayed by the TV ads, and the children who watched no TV were swayed by something else, like print ads.
