Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationships between touchscreen tablet usage time and attention performance in preschool children. Seventy-five young children with typical development were recruited. The accuracy rate and reaction time of their attention performance improved with age. Significant differences in accuracy rates, reaction time, and executive attention performance between young children who use touchscreen tablets more or less often were observed. Children who spent more time using touchscreen tablets had better accuracy rates and faster reaction time in the Attentional Network Task test. However, children who spent more time on tablets performed slower in terms of executive attention. These findings add to the understanding of the experience of using touchscreen tablets and its relationship with the attention performance of young children.

摘要

本研究旨在调查学龄前儿童触摸屏平板电脑使用时间与注意力表现之间的关系。招募了 75 名具有典型发育的幼儿。他们的注意力表现的准确率和反应时间随着年龄的增长而提高。观察到或多或少经常使用触摸屏平板电脑的幼儿在准确率、反应时间和执行注意力表现方面存在显着差异。花更多时间使用触摸屏平板电脑的儿童在注意力网络任务测试中具有更好的准确率和更快的反应时间。然而，在平板电脑上花费更多时间的孩子在执行注意力方面表现较慢。
