Abstract

Abstract. This article analyzes, based on scientific sources, the negative impact of mobile game addiction on cognitive processes, including attention, memory, thinking, work productivity, problem-solving skills, and emotional regulation. It also examines the neuropsychological mechanisms associated with the development of mobile gaming technologies, the psychological factors influencing gaming behavior, and the processes involved in the formation of gaming addiction.
