Abstract

We provide an overview of the impact of digital screen media (e.g., video games, mobile devices) on the executive functioning (EF) of children and adolescents from a clinical neuropsychological perspective. Our review emphasizes the EF domains of attention, working memory, inhibition, set shifting, fluency, planning, and problem solving among typically developing individuals and those with special needs. We conclude with specifications of the need for longitudinal research examining how screen media affects trajectories of EF development among all individuals.
