Introduction to the Section on Digital Media, Cognition, and Brain Development
摘要
The rapidly changing digital media landscape has sparked both widespread concern and optimism for children growing up in the digital age. Research to date suggests that the potential impacts of digital media on children are multifaceted and complex. The chapters within this section summarize and critique the evidence for media effects as they relate to cognition and brain development. This brief introduction provides an overview of each chapter in this section, identifies convergent themes across chapters, and raises gaps to be addressed in future research.
