More Screen Time, Better Thinking? An 8-Year Study Finds a Surprising Link
Screen time was associated with better adolescent cognitive processing, while links between physical activity and cognition varied by sex, activity type, and measurement method. A Finnish study following children into adolescence found an unexpected pattern: those who accumulated more screen time from childhood tended to show better cognitive processing as teenagers. Rather than treating all [...]
A new study by the Finnish universities of Jyväskylä and Eastern Finland suggests that spending more time in front of screens during childhood could be associated with better cognitive outcomes in adolescence
A Finnish study followed children into adolescence and found an unexpected relationship between screen time and cognitive processing. The results suggest that the use of digital devices can have a positive impact on cognition, depending on the activity performed. The research revealed that adolescents who spent more time in front of screens during childhood performed better on cognitive processing tasks. Researcher Petri Jalanko, from the Univer…
An eight-year observation study from Finland offers a surprising result: The use of the screen in children and adolescents seems to be statically accompanied by a better performance in thought tests. Actually, the opposite would have been expected, and so the widespread assumption that higher screen times block the mental performance is now available. However, this is not a free letter for permanent display squatting, but the cause and effect ar…

The study, conducted at the Universities of Jyväskylä and Eastern Finland, followed 260 children for eight years and examined their learning, attention and working memory abilities, among other things. The researchers found that…
