TI  - Does the Frontal Brain Electrical Activity Mediate the Effect of Home Executive 
      Function Environment and Screen Time on Children's Executive Function?

AB  - Executive functions play an important role in various developmental aspects of 
      children; however, environmental factors influencing individual differences in 
      children's executive function and their neural substructures, particularly in 
      middle childhood, are rarely investigated. Therefore, the current study aimed to 
      investigate the relationship between the home executive function environment 
      (HEFE) and screen time with the executive function of children aged 8-12 years by 
      employing the mediating variables of alpha, beta, and theta waves. The parents of 
      133 normal children completed Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning, HEFE, 
      and Screen Time Scales. Alpha, beta, and theta brain waves were also measured. 
      Data were examined using correlational and path analysis. The results suggested a 
      positive and significant relationship between home executive functions and the 
      executive functions of children. Furthermore, the results indicated an inverse 
      and significant relationship between screen time and executive function. The 
      results also proved the mediating role of alpha, beta, and theta brain waves in 
      the relationship between screen time and the children's executive function. 
      Environmental factors (such as home environment and screen time) affect the 
      function of brain waves and, thus, the daily executive function of children.
