How technology effects cognitive development and language development

Effects of screen time according to M.D Perri Klass

Children with a higher screenQ had weaker myelin. (The amount of myelin around a nerve fiber is directly related to how often it’s stimulated, how often it’s used).

Children with higher screen exposure had poorer expressive language and did worse on tests of language processing speed, like rapidly naming objects.

It replaces constructive activities like reading, playing, talking.

It shows association, not causation. If there is a direct link, it may have less to do with the screens themselves, and more with what the screen time may be replacing in children’s lives.

Believes screes are not exactly bad but screen times may not be good in the hands of infants-toddlers-preschoolers.

Effects of screen time according to Dr. Michael Rich

Are only able to recognize someone if they had previously met them before, and not only seen/heard on a screen.

"Face-to-face communication with another human being is much more richer, much more protective and meaningful in the sense of human connection ... than even talking on the phone."

young children have a much more difficult time understanding that the sound they’re hearing belongs to an actual person when they have a lot of screen time.

The age of screen time use is a greater factor than amount of screen time. After 2 years old it is more suitable.

Replacing human interaction with screens can lead to negative behavior patterns later in life, often called a screen addiction. (Perhaps replacing actual human interaction).

Using technology to 'babysit" a child robs them of an experience to build on their skills such as their motor skills and following a recipe/directions when a parent is cooking.

Child only get the partial experience of a conversation, weakening their social skills and interpersonal skills.

"...screen time impacts language development in children, finding that children who spent more time on a screen instead of talking suffered in their language development. Rich said this is concerning because face-to-face interaction is drastically different than what a screen can offer".
