(Courtesy/Freepik)Screen time may be good for toddlers and can actually help to improve their attention, a new study claims. The team hopes the findings will help to settle the debate about the effects of screen time on young children. Professor Tim Smith, who led the study, said: “The use of smartphones and tablets by babies and toddlers has accelerated rapidly in recent years. During these visits, the toddlers took part in a computer task in which they were trained to search for a red apple among a varying number of either blue apples or blue apples and red apple slices. An eye tracker monitored their gaze and visually rewarded the child when they found the red apple.
