Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined 34 studies on disordered screen use (like internet gaming or social media) and found that individuals with disordered use show small to medium cognitive deficits, especially in attention and executive functioning.
  • The research determined that the type of disordered screen behavior (internet or gaming) and the method of testing (paper-based or computerized) did not significantly influence the cognitive impairments observed.
  • The study highlights the need for improved research methods to better understand these cognitive impacts and suggests that disordered screen use can have meaningful effects on mental functioning.
