Traditional education in special schools have some limitations. We aimed to investigate if the 'touch screen-based cognitive training' is feasible and effective for children with severe cognitive impairment (developmental age 18-36 months) in special education. In this case, 29 children were randomly allocated to intervention ( = 17, 'touch screen-based cognitive training', 30 min/session, 3 times/week, 12 weeks) and control ( = 12, traditional education) groups. Psychoeducational Profile-Revised (PEP-R), Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire (ECBQ), Sequenced Language Scale for Infants (SELSI), Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), and Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) were measured before and after 12 weeks of education. The 'touch screen-based cognitive training' was applicable in special education. When repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used, significant groupⅹtime effect was found for GAS, and significant group effect was found for ECBQ (attentional shifting) and GAS. When adjusting for pre-education measurements, the intervention had a significant effect on the post-education measurements of ECBQ (attentional shifting) and GAS ( < 0.05). No relationship existed between the degree of improvements and the severeness of developmental delay in the measurements. 'Touch screen-based cognitive training' in special school was feasible and it improved cognition in children with severe cognitive impairment (developmental age 18-36 months), irrespective of the severeness of the developmental delay.

Objectives: To keep older drivers safe, it is necessary to assess their fitness to drive. We developed a touch screen-based digital Clock Drawing Test (dCDT) and examined the relationship between the dCDT scores and on-road driving performance of older drivers in a community-setting.
Methods: One hundred and forty-one community-dwelling older drivers (range; 64-88 years old) who participated in this study were included in the analysis.

Purpose: Trunk stability, an important prerequisite for many activities of daily living, can be impaired in children with movement disorders. Current treatment options can be costly and fail to fully engage young participants. We developed an affordable, smart screen-based intervention and tested if it engages young children in physical therapy goal driven exercises.

Background: Whether the associations of time spent in screen-based sedentary activities with CHD vary by genetic susceptibility is currently unknown. The objective of this study was to examine the interplay of genetic susceptibility to CHD and two prevalent types of screen-based sedentary activities (television [TV] viewing and computer use) for CHD incidence.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 373,026 individuals of European ancestry without prevalent CHD/stroke from UK Biobank data.
Self-administered Web-Based Tests of Executive Functioning and Perceptual Speed: Measurement Development Study With a Large Probability-Based Survey Panel.

Center for Economic and Social Research, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, United States.
Background: Cognitive testing in large population surveys is frequently used to describe cognitive aging and determine the incidence rates, risk factors, and long-term trajectories of the development of cognitive impairment. As these surveys are increasingly administered on internet-based platforms, web-based and self-administered cognitive testing calls for close investigation.
Objective: Web-based, self-administered versions of 2 age-sensitive cognitive tests, the Stop and Go Switching Task for executive functioning and the Figure Identification test for perceptual speed, were developed and administered to adult participants in the Understanding America Study.
High levels of screen time were associated with increased probabilities of lagged development in 3-year-old children.

Aim: This study determined whether higher screen time was associated with the development of 3-year-old children in Taiwan. It also examined whether differences would be found between television and other screen-based media in the probability of lagged development.
Methods: We examined 2139 children aged 3 years and their parents.
