宝宝一出生就该给他们iPad?

 

Now the academics are using a larger sample of hundreds of babies and toddlers, with one group given the iPads from birth and the others not allowed to use tablets.
学者们现正面向数百名婴幼儿做这项研究，一组婴幼儿自出生起就玩iPad，而另一组则没有接触过i平板。

Prof Karmiloff-Smith believes the children given computers will show better signs of development, even if it not in a conventional sense.
卡米洛夫·史密斯教授认为，玩电脑的儿童的的确确展现出更好的大脑发育迹象，即便不是常规意义上的那种。

She said: 'They might put a corner in their mouth, they will then explore it physically [but] then they will used it to do things. Everything we know about child development tells us that tablet computers should not be banned for babies and toddlers.'
她说：“他们或许会把iPad一角放进嘴里，把它作为一个物体先探索一下，然后就会用它玩儿了。所有儿童成长相关的知识都告诉我们，不应该禁止婴幼儿使用平板电脑。

Neurologist Baroness Susan Greenfield - a former director at the Royal Institution - previously warned that children's exposure to computer screens and games could cause a form of 'temporary dementia'.
而英国皇家研究所前主席、神经学家苏珊格林菲尔德曾警告称，儿童长时间盯着电脑屏幕和玩电脑游戏，会导致“暂时性痴呆”。

She said an unhealthy addiction to technology could disable connections in the brain, literally 'blowing the mind'.
她说，对科技产品上瘾会造成大脑神经之间的连接中断，真的可以叫做“头脑爆炸”了。
