"The use of smartphones has a negative effect on memory, reduces its function. However, this period can be restored. "
The statement came from Russian therapist Olesya Nabokova, Gadin.Net reports citing publika.az.
"Taking photos on the phone, working on mobile devices, using navigation and constantly reading the news on the Internet cause memory problems. Studies show that free access to information impairs memory. In children who actively use smartphones, the reaction to light and sound signals worsens, and writing errors increase. In addition, the ability to work is reduced, attention and semantic memory are weakened.
Memory impairment can be corrected with daily training. One month of training improves memory by 30%. The exercises include verbal counting, counting in reverse, as well as numbers and verbal questions, ”the doctor said.
