Excessive use of electronic devices has been linked to cognitive decline. Scientists from Macquarie University said this Speech.
Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 34 studies examining various forms of electronic device use (including gaming, Internet searching, and social media). People with excessive screen time or screen addiction had significantly lower mental performance.
What they suffered most was attention, the ability to maintain focus on a fixed stimulus for long periods of time. The person’s ability to control automatic reactions is also reduced. The age of the participants and the type of electronic device used did not affect the results.
Scientists are not sure whether attention deficits are a cause or a consequence of electronic device use; More research is needed. However, existing scientific studies largely confirm that time spent in front of large screens negatively affects mental performance.
