Childhood is becoming more and more digitized. Though still not clear, there may be developmental and health risks with excessive screen-based media use. These risks include language delay, impaired executive function, poor sleep, impaired general cognition, decreased parent-child engagement, and possibly neurobiological risks.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a technology to quantify white matter integrity in the brain and its various factors. Parameters of DTI include fractional anisotropy (FA) and radial diffusivity (RD), scalar values associated with microstructural organization, and myelination of white matter tracts.
A cross-sectional study revealed the following results:
Increased use of screen-based media was associated with lower microstructual integrity of brain white matter tracts that support language, executive functions, and emergent literacy skills. Screen use was also associated with lower scores on corresponding behavioral measures.
