"Cognitive and Psychological Impacts of Excessive Smartphone Use: A Literature Review"

Abstract

The widespread use of smartphones has become a necessity in modern society, offering 
convenience through technological advancements. However, excessive dependence on 
smartphones has raised concerns about its potential negative effects on physical, psychological, 
and cognitive health. This paper reviews existing literature on the relationship between 
smartphone use and mental health, academic performance, and cognitive function. Studies 
indicate that excessive smartphone usage is linked to sleep deprivation, anxiety, stress, 
depression, and diminished cognitive abilities, including attention, memory, and executive 
functions.
