A influência das emoções no processo de memorização e aprendizado da criança e adolescente: o uso excessivo de telas e suas consequências

Abstract

The emotions produced by the excessive use of screens, experienced today by children and adolescents, can affect memorization and learning in a certain way at school. Social networks (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok) have significantly improved so that algorithms ensure that the user remains connected for as long as possible. Children and adolescents, in their cognitive formation process, caused by the emotions stimulated on screens, can have substantial changes in the memorization and learning process. In view of this, this article presents the following research problem: to what extent emotions altered by excessive use of screens and consequently the use of social networks can influence the memorization and learning process of children and adolescents. To obtain an answer to the research problem, the hypothetical deductive method will be used, starting from established premises, comparing them and inferring their relationships. The general objective of this research is to understand the extent to which excessive use of screens alters emotions, causing difficulties in the learning and memorization process of children and adolescents. The importance of emotions in this context is highlighted, elucidating how they significantly influence learning and information retention. The results of this research show that emotions play an essential role in the cognitive development of children and adolescents, and that the use of screens and excess directly affects their memorization capacity and their academic performance.
