Episode 6: Touch-screens and preschoolers, and James Muecke on sugar

This week Kim and Liz look at a paper from Hungary about whether touch screen devices make a difference to preschoolers’ socio-cognitive skills; and Dr James Muecke, former Australian of the Year, shares his perspectives with Liz on vision loss, diabetes, sugar and advertising.

Show notes:

Hungarian paper: Veronika Konok et al, ‘Mobile use induces local attentional precedence and is associated with limited socio-cognitive skills in preschoolers’ (2021) 120 Computers in Human Behavior 106758; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2021.106758.
