“…Furthermore, learning experiences that use all the senses, rather than only hearing or seeing information, result in effective and straightforward information retrieval from memory during problem-solving processes. Such abilities are supposed to be acquired by active participation in learning activities by children [ 37 ]. Finally, long-term focus on online gaming may eventually lead to neglect in learning, leading to a deterioration in learning performance [ 38 ].…”

Background Video games have become a prevalent source of entertainment, especially among children. Furthermore, the amount of time spent playing video games has grown dramatically. The purpose of this research was to examine the mediation effects of attention and child memory on the relationship between video games addiction and cognitive and learning abilities in Egyptian children. Methods A cross-sectional research design was used in the current study in two schools affiliated with Dakahlia District, Egypt. The study included 169 children aged 9 to 13 who met the inclusion criteria, and their mothers provided the questionnaire responses. The data collection methods were performed over approximately four months from February to May. Data were collected using different tools: Socio-demographic Interview, Game Addiction Scale for Children (GASC), Children’s Memory Questionnaire (CMQ), Clinical Attention Problems Scale, Learning, Executive, and Attention Functioning (LEAF) Scale. Results There was a significant indirect effect of video game addiction on cognitive and learning skills through attention, but not child memory. Video game addiction has a significant impact on children’s attention and memory. Both attention and memory have a significant impact on a child’s cognitive and learning skills. Conclusions These results revealed the significant effect of video game addiction on cognitive and learning abilities in the presence of mediators. It also suggested that attention-focused therapies might play an important role in minimizing the harmful effects of video game addiction on cognitive and learning abilities.

The article presents the results of empirical analyses of the relationship between the age of parents and the school functioning of their children from 6th grade of primary school. Previous research does not provide a clear picture of this relationship. In the case of older parents, the results more often indicate a positive prediction of school achievement, while the young age of parents rather increases the risk of problems. The analyses used the data from a large nationwide sample of sixth-grade students. Measures of cognitive functioning included Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test, standardised school achievement tests, and school grades. Social functioning was described by sociometric measures from the Student Integration Questionnaire. To minimise the risk of inaccurate causal interpretation, a rich set of control variables was included in the analyses, including measures of family SES. A MANOVA model with covariates was applied. Standard errors were calculated using the bootstrap method with data grouping (schools) included. The results did not support the hypothesis that older parental age promotes higher school achievement. It can also be stated with high confidence that young parental age is not a significant risk factor for a child’s intellectual functioning in school. The second hypothesis, that young parental age is a risk factor for a child’s social functioning at school, was not confirmed. In contrast, a slightly higher risk of peer rejection was found for students of older parents. Careful statistical control of the variables and a representative large sample allows us to have high confidence in the results obtained. The results support strong recommendation for teachers and educators: either young or advanced age of a student’s parents cannot be treated as a significant educational risk factor.

Bu çalışmada, erken çocukluk dönemindeki çocukların bilişsel gelişimini değerlendirmede kullanılan ölçme araçları ele alınmıştır. Doküman inceleme yoluyla derlenen ölçme araçları algı, bellek ve üst bilişsel beceriler, dikkat, düşünme, problem çözme, yürütücü işlevler, zekâ ve zihin kuramı becerilerinin değerlendirilmesine yönelik ölçekler başlıkları altında incelenmiştir. Algı alanında işitsel ve dokunsal algı vb. duyuları kapsayan ölçme araçları; bellek alanında belleğin alt bileşenlerine yönelik ölçme araçlarına gereksinim olduğu görülmüştür. Üst bilişsel beceriler, dikkat, düşünme, yürütücü işlevler, zekâ ve zihin kuramı alanında erken çocukluk dönemine yönelik araçların geliştirilmesine gereksinim olduğu düşünülmüştür. Problem çözme alanında geliştirilmiş Türk kültürüne uygun ölçeklerin ise diğer alanlara göre daha yeterli olduğu görülmüştür. Genel olarak bilişsel gelişim alanındaki ölçüm araçlarının daha çok yurt dışında geliştirilmiş ve Türkçe’ye uyarlanmış araçlar olduğu, Türkiye örnekleminde geliştirilecek ve performansa ve yetişkin değerlendirmelerine dayalı hem formal hem de informal değerlendirmelerin bir arada yapılarak daha güvenilir veriler elde edilecek araçlara gereksinim olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
