Different types of screen activities might have distinct effects on intelligence.
“This picture is further complicated because different types of screen activities might have distinct effects on intelligence3,13.”
From The impact of digital media on children’s intelligence while controlling for genetic differences in cognition and socioeconomic background (2022) · cites this paper as [13]
A cross-sectional study found that children who spent more time playing video games (in the high tertile) had a positive association with intelligence compared to low tertile (β = +0.12).
“For example, a cross-sectional study13 found that children who spent more time playing video games (in the high tertile) had a positive association with intelligence compared to low tertile (β = + 0.12).”

From The impact of digital media on children’s intelligence while controlling for genetic differences in cognition and socioeconomic background (2022) · cites this paper as [13]
In the same cross-sectional study, children in the high tertile for TV watching (β = −0.99), video watching (β = −1.05), and social media (β = −0.79) had lower measures of cognition compared to children in the low tertile.
“However, children in the high tertile for TV watching (β = − 0.99), video watching (β = − 1.05), and social media (β = − 0.79) had lower measures of cognition compared to children in the low tertile for each variable.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
