Twenty years ago there has been a considerable increase in autism in the child population, coincidentally since the consumption of television by children has also increased.
Although it was suspected until now, a relationship between the two had not yet been found, but a study by researchers at Cornell University is the first to establish a connection between television and autism.
It does not mean that the cause of autism is the hours children spend in front of the television. Do not run to throw the silly box out the window
But it is a warning for parents who allow continuous hours of hypnotic cartoon sessions, especially in children under three whose brain is in full swing. In fact, the study has shown that there are more cases of autism in populations where there is access to more television channels.
Although on the other hand, there are studies that ensure that TV does not cause attention problems in children. Sometimes studies instead of clarifying, confuse.
Scientists wonder if two-dimensional full-color images broadcast on television could be harmful to the brain in children's formation when the human eye is designed to receive three-dimensional images.
