    "title": "The Differential Relationship of Extracurricular Activities and Screen Time with\nAdolescents’ Fluid and Crystallized Cognition",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Adolescents are going through a period of rapid growth in\ncognitive resources, both in crystallized, or knowledge-based,\ncognition and fluid cognition, or the ability to think and reason\nflexibly. Past literature reveals an ongoing debate as to\nwhether, or in what way, different activities during childhood\nrelate to these abilities. The current study leveraged the\nAdolescent Brain Cognitive Development baseline dataset to\nexplore the interplay between nine- and ten-year-olds’\nextracurricular activities, screen time, and the different\ncomponents of cognition. Results indicate that adolescents’\nactivities explain more variance in crystallized than fluid\ncognition. Further, participation in artistic activities is\nassociated with increased fluid and crystallized cognition,\nthough sports is positively associated with fluid but negatively\nassociated with crystallized cognition. Different types of\nscreen time, though notably not video game playing, may be\nnegatively associated with cognition. Screen time explains\nmore variance in fluid cognition than extracurricular activities\ndo, whereas the opposite is true of crystallized cognition. This\ncorrelational study suggests potential avenues for further work\nto disentangle the causal links underlying the relationships\nbetween experiences and cognition. Do such activities change\nadolescents’ cognitive skill, or do children self-select to\nparticipate in certain types of activities that complement their\nexisting skills?",
