Subclaims¶

q1 i? A second limitation is that visual presentation removes much of the teacher's personal influence and social interaction, at a time when extending the teacher's supervision of learning is thought desirable; the common assertion that motion pictures hold attention more strongly is seriously questioned by McClusky's study. → Frank N. Freeman 1922

Part of Freeman's tentative analysis of limitations. He notes the teacher can hold attention by eye, voice, and personal presence and adapt pace to pupils, and that McClusky's study indicates the attention claim for motion pictures "is to be seriously questioned," needing further experimentation.

"A second limitation is that visual presentation in general, and especially motion pictures, dispenses largely with the personal influence of the teacher and with the social inter-action of the members of the group."
