SUMMARY:The Digital Child: Lessons from Studying the Family 
 Media Ecology
ORGANIZER;CN="Science":
 about:blank
DESCRIPTION:
 Psychology Guest Speaker, Professor Heather Kirkorian\n
 Prof. Kirkorian's talk will synthesize research 
 on digital media and early child development. 
 She will share research highlights regarding early 
 cognitive development and screen time, including 
 when young children do (and do not) learn from 
 digital media. She will also examine the larger 
 family media ecology using the Dynamic, Relational, 
 and Ecological Approach to Media Effects Research (DREAMER) 
 framework. The DREAMER framework emphasizes the 
 regulatory and relational processes that shape 
 how young children and families use and respond 
 to media, balancing the needs of different family 
 members. Prof. Kirkorian will use examples from 
 her own and others' research to illustrate how 
 different types of media use predict different 
 short- and long-term outcomes. Prof. Kirkorian 
 will conclude with examples of how to translate 
 these research findings into practical advice 
 to support digital well-being for families with 
 young children.\n\n
