Children's screen time regulation surprises
A long-term Finnish study has been published linking screen time with cognitive performance in children and adolescents. Surprisingly, the results showed that increasing screen time—especially when engaged in cognitive and interactive activities—is associated with improved cognitive abilities during adolescence. The researchers emphasized the importance of balancing screen time with physical activity, noting that the quality of activities on screens plays a crucial role, and that physical activity—particularly among girls and boys—helps support working memory. The findings also indicated that sedentary time was not clearly linked to cognitive performance, reflecting the complex relationship between behaviors and brain development during childhood and adolescence.
