Children’s exposure to screen and technologywhat is the impact in the development of language and behaviour?

Zusammenfassung

Since television emerged, much has been studied about the impact of children's exposure to this type of media, as well as films and DVDs. The results have indicated both positive influences on language acquisition and literacy, and negative influences in areas such as language, attention, nutrition and children's behavior. More recently, the rapid technological evolution that has occurred has caused great changes in society and consequently has brought new habits of play and interaction for children. Currently, it is questioned what impact exposure to screens (television, computers, smartphones, tablets, internet) has on children's development, and more specifically on the acquisition and development of language and their cognitive and social skills. This study aims to analyze how exposure to screens influences children's linguistic and behavioral development.
