Abstract Synopsis

  • The study investigates how screen time affects toddlers' development of executive functions, which are crucial skills like planning, attention, and problem-solving, by tracking 193 British children from age 2 to 3 years.
  • The findings show no immediate link between screen use and executive functions at a specific point, but increased screen time at age 2 is associated with poorer development of these skills over the following year.
  • These results suggest that limiting screen time during early toddler years might support better cognitive development, highlighting important considerations for parents and pediatric guidelines.]
