Reply to comment by TarthenalToblakai in A new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school. by Wagamaga
Might the rapid and fairly rhythmic rate at which images on-screen change have something to do with it? IRL, what we see doesn't move the same way or at the same rate a filmed or cartoon narrative does - think of how long it seems if a filmed scene focuses on one thing for more than a few seconds. If neural entrainment at such a rhythm and rate takes place too often at a young age, might it not lead to permanent neurological effects?
