According to a new study, screen time can adversely affect infant academic success. The new research study was recently published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics where Researchers found that increased screen time during infancy was related to poorer executive functioning once a child turned nine-years-old. The research sample group focused on 437 children within the data set from Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes, or GUSTO. Harrison stated that screen time should never substitute adult-interaction. The only time that screen time should be used prior to this age group is in the case of video chatting.
