Abstract
This study investigates the impact of electronic device usage on cognitive abilities in early learners, focusing on the dimensions of educational content accessibility, learning ability, and digital literacy. Findings reveal significant positive correlations between these factors and key cognitive abilities, such as numeracy, literacy, memory, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills. High-quality educational content, particularly through interactive and multimedia-rich resources, was strongly associated with enhanced numeracy and literacy skills, suggesting that diverse digital content can effectively support foundational academic abilities. Additionally, digital literacy showed robust correlations with problem-solving and social-emotional development, indicating that early exposure to digital tools can foster critical thinking, adaptability, and empathy in young learners. Learning ability was also positively linked to cognitive outcomes, supporting the role of digital devices in promoting engagement and resilience. Overall, this study underscores the importance of integrating digital tools in early education, as they contribute significantly to cognitive development and prepare children for future learning in a technology-driven world.
