  1. On the bases of the tests of the ANOVA repeated measures, the preceding models were adjusted for age, duration of each activity, and duration of each viewing. Increased visual attention adjusted for father’s education, mother’s education, weekly physical activity, daily attention levels, and weekly viewing of videos or pictures of the natural environment
