Abstract

This article analyzes the transformational processes occurring in human attention and memory under the conditions of a sharp intensification of the information flow (“information overload”). Digital tools — smartphones, social networks, push notifications, multitasking — increase cognitive load, weaken the ability to sustain attention, and lead to excessive reliance on short-term types of memory. The author substantiates the formation of new psychological phenomena such as “cognitive fragmentation” and “scanning attention” in the digital environment. The article also proposes strategies for managing cognitive load and practical methods for restoring attention.
