Screen Time: Is It Really All Bad? | Florence Breslin | TEDxTysons
While there is evidence of screen time producing negative consequences, screen time is not solely to blame for many adverse outcomes we see in children and adolescence. As technology continues to rapidly change, scientists are working furiously to understand the role of screen time on our children, but in the meantime, society has leaned more and more on blaming screens for ill effects without supportive evidence. In this talk, Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study Investigator, Florence Breslin provides an update on the research of screen time’s effects on children and discusses where screen time does and does not play a role in different family experiences.
Florence Breslin, MS, CCRP is a co-Investigator at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research site of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. Her research interest began in pre-clinical addiction research at the University of Virginia Center for Addition Education. She then moved into adult human neuroimaging research at the Center for Health Behavior Neuroscience at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The ABCD study allowed her to pursue her interests of brain development and function during addiction. In 2017 Florence was award the ABCD Staff Member of the Year by Nora Volkow, MD, Directory of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and George Koob, Ph.D., Directory of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for her contributions to ABCD both at LIBR and in the consortium. Her current research focuses on contextual factors, such as parenting and screen time, that influence adolescent brain development and mental health. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
