Abstract

Objective: To examine whether the responsiveness of young children to simple sounds was associated with entertainment screen time (EST), opportunities for social interaction, and social and communication skills.

Design: Parents completed a questionnaire covering, for years one and two, the number of times the child met with other children; the number of words the child spoke; and the daily amount of EST. Social, attention and communication skills were assessed.

Study sample: Participants were 118 children, aged 15 to 46 months. They were initially assessed behaviourally using simple sounds. Children who responded to such sounds were denoted the Responsive group. Children who did not were assessed using familiar songs and denoted the Unresponsive group.

Results: The two groups did not differ significantly in mean age or the number of opportunities to meet other children. The Unresponsive group had significantly fewer words than the Responsive group at 12 and 24 months and had significantly higher EST than the Responsive group for years 1 and 2. The Unresponsive group showed lower social, attention and communication skills than the Responsive group.

Conclusions: High EST was associated with poorer auditory and social skills. Hence, it may be wise to limit the EST of young children.

儿童的听觉反应与早年娱乐屏幕时间的持续时间之间的关联。

目的：研究幼儿对简单声音的反应是否与娱乐屏幕时间（EST）、社交互动机会以及社交和沟通技能有关。设计：父母完成了一份调查问卷，涵盖了第一年和第二年孩子与其他孩子见面的次数；孩子说的单词数；以及EST的每日量。对社交、注意力和沟通技能进行了评估。研究样本：参与者为118名15至46岁的儿童月。他们最初使用简单的声音进行行为评估。对这些声音有反应的儿童被称为反应组。没有的儿童使用熟悉的歌曲进行评估，并表示为无反应组。结果：两组在平均年龄或与其他孩子见面的机会数量上没有显著差异。在12岁和24岁时，无反应组的单词明显少于有反应组月，并且在第1年和第2年具有显著高于应答组的EST。无反应组的社交、注意力和沟通能力低于有反应组。结论：高EST与较差的听觉和社交技能有关。因此，限制幼儿的EST可能是明智的。
