Keywords:

This article analyzes the development of key cognitive functions such as attention and memory in children during the digital era, based on modern psychological theories and applied research. It examines how digital devices, mass media, and interactive technologies influence children’s attention regulation, working memory capacity, and information processing speed. Research findings show that excessive use of modern technologies can lead to divided attention, distraction, and increased cognitive load. At the same time, targeted educational games, interactive learning platforms, and specialized therapeutic games (such as EndeavorRx) can enhance children’s attention and memory. The article presents analyses of psychological approaches (Piaget, Vygotsky, cognitive load theory), neuropsychological evidence, experimental studies, and modern technological tools for improving attention and memory.
