First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores whether the amount of daily screen time toddlers are exposed to is related to their language development. Researchers are assessing children aged 12 to 42 months using the Bayley-4, a standard developmental test. The goal is to see if more screen time is linked to differences in receptive and expressive language skills.
