Smartphones Use in Reading

More people are reading and learning on electronic gadgets. Although electronic devices have greatly benefited humanity, they can lead to impaired reading comprehension, headaches, and eyestrain. Basic research has documented the connection between the visual surroundings and cognitive performance.

When reading from an electric device, comprehension may suffer due to poor attention or distinct sensory processing circuits, which may be linked to physiological conditions, such as levels of brain and bodily activity.

Reading comprehension may vary depending on the visual context even though the text’s content is the same. Given that vision dominates other senses when it comes to cross-modality or sensory integration, visual input may potentially have an impact on physiology and brain function.
