Screen-exposure and altered brain activation related to attention in preschool children: An EEG study
Exposure to screens has been shown to reduce attention span in children. Increased slow-
wave (theta band) and decreased fast-wave (beta and gamma bands) generated from EEG,
as well as increased theta/beta ratio, have been observed in children with Attention-Deficit-
Hyperactivity-Disorder (ADHD). This study examined the relationship between 6-weeks
screen exposure and attention abilities in typically developing preschoolers using EEG
during rest. Theta and beta bands were compared, and visual attention and parental reports …
