Are toddlers incapable of learning from TV?

Do we really think that toddlers can learn from watching TV? According to this article whatever they gain from the television show is not considered learning. However, I feel it should be considered learning. Some toddlers may not relize what they are seeing or learning but some do. As in the comments, some toddlers know how to go about brushing their teeth or washing their hands just by watching cartoons that do these things also. No, there is not deep logical learning going on, but there is some general learning I believe. Bauerlein talks about how everyone watches too much tv and even the parents allow for the kids to watch TV to get them out of their way or give themselves some down time. This does not mean they are not learning. I still feel they are learning some information, even if it simple steps. In the article they do a study of locating an object. The toddlers may not be learning educational information such as applying what they say to use, but they may be learning how to do everyday activities. Of course the toddlers are not going to get from the television show what a teenager or an adult would draw from it, but they are learning still. You may not consider it learning, but I feel if they take from the television show and learn how to brush their teeth or wash their hand, for example, then they are sitll learning.
