BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Child mobile device use is increasingly prevalent, but research limited by parent-report survey methods that may not capture the complex ways devices are used. We aimed to implement sampling, a set of novel for objectively measuring child use. METHODS: recruited 346 English-speaking parents and guardians children aged 3 5 years take part in prospective cohort study media All interactions with participants were through e-mail, online surveys, sampling; we used...
Young children use mobile devices on average 1 hour/day, but no studies have examined the prevalence of advertising in children's apps. The objective this study was to describe content popular apps.To create a coding scheme, we downloaded and played 39 apps by aged 12 months 5 years pilot sensing app; 2 researchers each app, took detailed notes design advertisements, iteratively refined codebook (interrater reliability 0.96). Codes were then applied 96 most free paid And Under category...
Previous research has documented less dialogic interaction between parents and preschoolers during electronic-book reading versus print. Parent-toddler interactions around commercially available tablet-based books have not been described. We examined parent-toddler verbal nonverbal when electronic print books.We conducted a videotaped, laboratory-based, counterbalanced study of 37 dyads on 3 book formats (enhanced [sound effects and/or animation], basic electronic, print). coded...
<h3>Importance</h3> Manipulative design features (known as dark patterns) are common in video games and adult-directed technologies, but their prevalence children's interactive media has not been described. <h3>Objectives</h3> To develop a reliable coding scheme for gathering data on manipulative digital designs, describe within apps used by community-based sample of young children, test hypotheses about associations with socioeconomic status (SES). <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3>...
Mobile devices are often used to keep young children occupied or calm, but it is not known whether this practice influences child development.To examine the longitudinal, bidirectional associations between parent-reported frequency of using mobile calm and children's executive functioning (EF) emotional reactivity, testing moderation by sex temperament.This prospective cohort study included a community-based convenience sample English-speaking parents typically developing aged 3 5 years. The...
Child-directed mobile applications (apps) have been found to collect digital identifiers and transmit them third-party companies, a potential violation of federal privacy rules. This study seeks examine the differences in app data collection sharing practices by evaluating sociodemographic characteristics children who play them.To 451 apps played young test associations with child characteristics.This used from baseline phase Preschooler Tablet Study, prospective cohort conducted August 2018...
Parents of children with higher weight are blamed and shamed for their children's weight. However, parents' experiences this form stigma, termed stigma by association, poorly understood. The objective study was to investigate the sources, forms, impacts association among mothers overweight or obesity.
Proprioception, the sense of limb position and motion, is essential for generating accurate movements. Limb has typically been studied under static conditions (i.e., fixed a in space), with less known about dynamic during movement). Here we investigated how person's estimate hand varies when using spatial or temporal information to judge unseen hand's location reaching. We assessed acuity two directions, orthogonal movement, which only requires information, line both components. Our results...
Although the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parent-child joint engagement with digital media, recent evidence suggests this may be challenging when tablets contain interactive enhancements.
Abstract Aim No studies have examined notifications as they relate to parent stress. We aimed examine associations between objective daily mobile device and pickups with parenting Methods This was a within‐ between‐subjects, cross‐sectional study that took place from 2020 2021. The occurred during the coronavirus disease of 2019 pandemic. Data were collected in low‐contact home visit. included 62 parents children aged 48–71 months. Parents downloaded passive sensing app on their Android...
Importance Free video-sharing platforms (VSPs) make up a high proportion of children’s daily screen use. Many VSPs algorithmic recommendations, appearing as thumbnail images from the video, which content creators use to advertise their video content. Objective To explore how VSP thumbnails attention-capture designs encourage engagement with and test whether recommendations offer more problematic features over time. Design, Setting, Participants In this cross-sectional study conducted in...
OBJECTIVES: There is a need for research exploring the temporal trends of nonpulmonary organ dysfunction (NPOD) and biomarkers in order to identify unique predictive or prognostic phenotypes. We examined associations between number trajectories NPODs plasma early late inflammatory cascade activation, specifically interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) interleukin-8 (IL-8), respectively, setting acute respiratory failure (ARF). DESIGN: Secondary analysis Randomized Evaluation Sedation...
Young children with weaker self-regulation use more digital media, but studies have been limited by parent-reported screen time measures. We examine associations between early childhood executive functioning and objective mobile device usage.
Upper-limb prostheses users lack proprioception of their artificial arm, and rely heavily on vision to understand its configuration. With the goal reducing amount energy expended visual cues during upper-limb prosthesis use, this study investigates whether haptic feedback can relay configuration a virtual hand in absence sight. Two mappings from waistbelt-mounted tactor vibration patterns are explored: (1) Synergy-based motions derived results principal component analysis run an aggregate...
