Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

From the early days of CAM scholarship, scholars have been asking questions about the role of media in early childhood, particularly as it relates to cognition and learning. And, as the media space evolves, this questions continue to evolve. What does the latest data tell us about media and executive function skills? How and when do children seem to learn from media - both traditional and newer media types? Are there longitudinal relationships between digital media use and cognitive outcomes. In this panel, scholars will attempt to answer these and other questions. This is a CAM traditional paper panel. In these sessions, presenters prepare a presentation of their manuscript. A total of 4-5 thematically-similar presentations are planned (roughly 10-12 minutes per presentation) along with a discussant (approximately 5 minutes per session). The discussant will be asked to respond to the content of each paper and connect the papers to one another and to the broader field.
