Abstract
The psychological and cognitive consequences of digitalization are becoming an increasingly relevant topic for research in modern society. The consequences of digitalization affect not only social and economic aspects, but also have a significant impact on the cognitive behavior of individuals. Meta-contextual analysis of cognitive behavior reveals how digital technologies change information perception, attention and memory. It is important to understand that these changes can both contribute to the development of new skills and lead to negative consequences, such as decreased concentration or deterioration of critical thinking. Thus, the study of the psychological and cognitive consequences of digitalization requires a comprehensive approach and in-depth analysis.
