The type of viewing interferes with the cerebral executive function of the children. Using an educational application makes the child more capable of delaying less quick gratification for a longer but better one, than seeing a normal cartoon. Between an educational application, an educational TV show or a normal cartoon, the application is the kind of media that has the best effect on memory. This study shows that the interaction and type of content is more important than merely screen time. |

There is no evidence that suports that screen time is positive or negatively related with children's vocabulary. There is a positive relationship between vocabulary and the time spent reading with children. |

Increased exposure to non-educational content for children leads to less time for teaching and reading activities at home, which can negatively influence development. |
