The effect of social media use on children is afraughtarea of research, as parents and policymakers try to ascertain the results of a vast experiment already in full swing. Successive studies have added pieces to the puzzle,fleshing outthe implications of a nearly constant stream of virtual interactions beginning in childhood.

使用社交媒体对儿童的影响是一个为人热议的研究领域，因为家长和政策制定者试图在一项已经全面展开的大规模实验中确定研究结果。后续开展的研究为这一谜团增添了新的线索，在儿童时期开始的几乎持续不断的虚拟互动可能带来的影响方面，充实了相应的研究。

A new study by neuroscientists at the University of North Carolina tries something new, conducting successive brain scans of middle schoolers between the ages of 12 and 15, a period of especially rapid brain development.

北卡罗来纳大学的神经科学家开展的一项新研究探究了一些新的内容，他们对12岁至15岁的中学生连续进行了几次脑部扫描，该年龄段是大脑快速发育期。

The researchers found that children who habitually checked their social media feeds at around age 12 showed a distincttrajectory, with their sensitivity to social rewards from peers heightening over time. Teenagers with less engagement in social media followed the opposite path, with a declining interest in social rewards.

研究人员发现，在12岁左右习惯性查看社交媒体动态的儿童表现出明显的趋势，他们对来自于同龄人的社交奖励的敏感度会随着时间的推移而增强。社交媒体使用度较低的青少年则走上了一条相反的路，他们对社交奖励的兴趣（随着时间而）下降。

The study, published on Tuesday in JAMA Pediatrics, is among the first attempts to capture changes to brain function correlated with social media use over a period of years. The study has important limitations, the authors acknowledge. Because adolescence is a period of expanding social relationships, the brain differences could reflect a naturalpivottoward peers, which could be driving more frequent social media use.

这项于周二发表在《美国医学会儿科杂志》上的研究，是首次尝试摸清多年使用社交媒体对脑功能变化的影响的研究之一。作者承认，这项研究有很大的局限性。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~

“We can’t make causal claims that social media is changing the brain,” said Eva H. Telzer, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and one of the authors of the study. But, she added, “teens who are habitually checking their social media are showing these pretty dramatic changes in the way their brains are responding, which could potentially have long-term consequences well into adulthood, sort of setting thestagefor brain development over time.”

“我们不能断言是社交媒体改变了大脑，”北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校心理学和神经科学副教授伊娃·h·特尔泽说，她是这项研究的作者之一。但是，她补充说，“习惯查看社交媒体的青少年在大脑反应的方式上表现出了相当巨大的变化，这可能会对步入成年后的青少年产生长期影响，为大脑随时间发育的过程奠定了基础。”
