Introduction: The increasing use of digital technologies in childhood has raised concerns about their impacts on neuropsychomotor development, especially due to early exposure in a critical period of central nervous system maturation. Objective: To analyze the relationship between screen time and outcomes in children's neuropsychomotor development, as well as to identify associated factors. Material and Methods: This is an integrative literature review, conducted according to the recommendations of PRISMA and guided by the PCC strategy.
The search was performed in the PubMed database, using controlled descriptors and free terms related to the pediatric population, exposure to digital media, and child development. Studies published between 2020 and 2025 that investigated the association between screen use andcognitive, linguistic, behavioral, or physiological outcomes in children were included. The selection was carried out by independent reviewers, and the data were analyzed in a descriptive and qualitative way. Results: A total of 23 studies were included, showing early exposure that is often higher than international recommendations. An association was observed between longer screen time and impairments in cognitive development, language, executive functions and behavioral regulation, in addition to changes in sleep. Factors such as parents' digital behavior, absence of boundaries, and socioeconomic conditions significantly influenced exposure. Moderate and supervised use has demonstrated a potential beneficial effect on specific cognitive abilities. Conclusions: Excessive exposure to screens is associated with adverse outcomes in child development, especially at early ages, and is modulated by contextual factors. Educational strategies and guidance to caregivers are essential to promote the appropriate use of technologies in childhood.
