Abstract
The use of digital devices by children up to the age of six is controversial due to inconclusive research showing a positive, neutral or negative link to the development of young children. More and more studies point not to the mere fact of use but to the manner of use (age of initiation, time, content, etc.) as factors responsible for the positive or negative impact on the development of the child. In 2020 and 2022, two research projects were carried out: Toddler caught in the web the use of digital devices by children aged 06 years and Toddler caught in the web 2.0 the use of mobile devices by children aged 46 and selected cognitive functions. The aim of the projects was to thoroughly determine how children in Poland use digital devices, as well as whether, and if so, how various aspects of use translate into cognitive functioning (memory, attention and behavioural inhibition controls). The results of both projects may have an impact on mental health promotion and prevention some of the results have already been used in the educational campaign addressed to parents and carers of pre-school children First steps in the cyberworld.
