Cognitive Development in Digital Contexts - Grand Format

Cognitive Development in Digital Contexts investigates the impact of digital media on key aspects of children and adolescents' cognitive development, including attention, memory, language, and executive functioning. It also examines how children and adolescents evaluate the content presented to them via the diverse media they encounter, and how they understand the affordances of these media. In highlighting how digital media impacts cognitive development, the text addresses a topic often neglected amid societal concerns about pathological media use and vulnerability to media effects (notably aggression, cyber-bullying, and Internet addiction).
