The differences between parent-child joint attention while reading together from a screen versus from a paper are unknown. The current study aimed to determine if parent-child brains synchronise differently during screen-based versus printed paper-based, in other words, a book reading.
The study was carried out in 2022 in Israel. Cohorts were recruited via posted ads. Cognitive and behavioural measures were assessed using standardised tests. In addition, two reading sessions were administered by the parent, one on the screen and another using a book, while electroencephalograph data captured their brain synchronisation. The difference in brain synchronisation between the conditions was correlated with behavioural measures.
Of the 49 parent-child pairs age 3.94 years ± 0.751; 24 females who participated in language-based tasks for this study, electroencephalograph data from 11 dyads showed a higher brain-to-brain synchronisation during printed-based reading compared to screen-based reading was found and associated with the child's verbal and cognitive abilities.
Printed-paper reading fosters a higher parent-child neural synchronisation and cognitive engagement compared to screen-based reading.
亲子在通过屏幕阅读与纸质阅读时共同注意力的差异尚不清楚。本研究旨在确定在基于屏幕阅读与基于印刷纸张阅读（即阅读书籍）过程中，亲子大脑的同步方式是否存在差异。
该研究于2022年在以色列开展。通过张贴广告招募研究对象。使用标准化测试评估认知和行为指标。此外，由家长进行两次阅读活动，一次在屏幕上进行，另一次使用书籍，同时脑电图数据记录他们的大脑同步情况。两种阅读条件下大脑同步的差异与行为指标相关联。
在参与本研究语言任务的49对年龄为3.94岁±0.751岁的亲子对中（其中24对为女性），11对二元组的脑电图数据显示，与基于屏幕的阅读相比，基于印刷纸张的阅读过程中大脑间同步性更高，且与儿童的语言和认知能力相关。
与基于屏幕的阅读相比，纸质阅读能促进更高的亲子神经同步性和认知参与度。
