Screen viewing time from age 1 to 8 years and subsequent academic performance

An average of two hours of screen time at age 1 seems insane to me. Should be measured in seconds as far as I'm concerned.

Though I admit I'm privileged by living in Norway and don't have to work crazy hours to make ends meet.

I guess that's hard to measure, higher screen time could be correlated with less caregiving from parents - screen will not teach them.

"Screen viewing" seems very vague. What did they do with their screens? Did they read an encyclopedia, or did they watch entertainment content videos? It's an important distinction.

Interesting. I have bad hopes for the data on children growing up with AI, which makes it easy to never apply critical thinking and finding own solutions.

In this longitudinal study, cumulative average screen viewing time was associated with lower academic performance but not working memory, with the strongest effect sizes seen for single screen viewing time occurring in early infancy.

Cumulative average exposure models showed that screen viewing time over childhood was consistently associated with poorer academic performance but not working memory.
