Neuroscientist Horvath: Zoomers' abilities are inferior to their parents due to gadgets

Neuroscientist Jared Horvath, in a conversation with the media, said that Generation Z, which includes people born from the late 1990s to the early 2010s, demonstrates weaker cognitive indicators compared to their predecessors.

Horvath told a US Senate committee that the intelligence of Generation Z has declined, despite the fact that today's teenagers spend more time in educational institutions than children in the 20th century.

Data collected by the LME Global team indicates that declines in cognitive scores began to appear around 2010, a period of significant digital technology adoption in schools.

“The human brain is not designed to learn from short videos that you can watch on the Internet and reading short sentences that summarize entire books and complex ideas,” Dr. Horvath said.
