A recent study found that young children who spend a lot of time playing with touch-screen devices suffer from easily distraction.

The British newspaper Daily Mail reported that the study conducted by British and Swedish experts followed a group of children at the age of 12 months, 18 months and 24 months over a period of 30 months, and by using eye tracking technology, experts found that children who used a touch screen daily were faster to turn and look at things Others when they appear in their field of vision

On the screen, however, they are less able to resist distraction compared to young children who do not use the touch screen or use it for less time.

Study co-author Rachel Bedford, from the Department of Psychology at the University of Bath, said: “Research will continue to see whether this difference in attention is beneficial or harmful to their daily lives, as it is important to provide a better understanding of the impact of this new technology and then use it in a way that increases Benefits and reduce any negative consequences.
