Impact of Children's Digital Device Usage on Their Cognitive Function: A Comprehensive Literature Analysis

Abstract

This paper comprehensively reviews and analyzes relevant literature on the use of digital devices and children's cognitive development, exploring the impact of children's digital device usage on their cognitive function. The analysis reveals that prolonged use of digital devices can have negative effects on children's cognitive development, such as attention issues, delayed language development, and decreased learning abilities. However, appropriate and targeted use of digital devices can positively enhance children's cognitive development, including improving attention, expanding language skills, and enhancing learning and memory. Based on the research findings, the paper provides the following recommendations: improving the digital environment to ensure children's healthy growth, creating a positive family environment, and enhancing training on the use of digital devices, as well as establishing guidelines for children's digital device usage.
