Screen Time and Eye Movements
This study examined the influences of screen time on eye movements in children ages 11-13 years old. For this study participants completed the Developmental Eye Movement (DEM) test, a brief standardized test that measures speed and errors in eye movements as a person reads a list of numbers. Screen time estimates were reported through iphone usage statistics or self-report.
Self Regulation Skills
