Study suggests screens may aid children’s brains
A Finnish study conducted over 8 years showed that increasing screen time among children during childhood is associated with improved cognitive performance in adolescence, especially in the areas of memory and information processing. The researchers found that activities stimulating thinking and creative engagement are linked to better cognitive outcomes, highlighting the importance of balancing screen use with physical activity. The study also revealed that the impact of screen time varies between girls and boys concerning working memory, and that unstructured physical activity levels are associated with cognitive enhancements. The study underscores the need to understand the relationship between screen use and cognitive development, while emphasizing the necessity for further research to determine causality.
