Abstract:Digital media is pervasive and has become an integral part of children's lives. Studies have found that early exposure to digital media is related to sleep, motor developmental skills, attention difficulties, language and literacy skills. In addition, researchers are exploring the impact of digital media use on executive function. Based on the perspective of family media ecology, this paper reviewed the impact of digital media on children's executive function from characteristics of digital media, characteristics of family environment and attributes of the child. It was found that touch-screen interactive media, educational content, high family socioeconomic status play protective role in the relationship between digital media use and executive function, however, fast-paced content, fantastical content, background TVhave negative effect on executive function. Future studies should focus on the role of children's temperament in the impact of digital media on executive function and the effects of digital media on different components of executive function.
