Abstract
The current study aims to analyze the relationship between juvenile video gaming and cognitive skills, with a particular emphasis was on problem-solving, attention, and memory. The foundation for comprehending the cognitive processes involved in video gaming was provided by the theoretical framework of Cognitive Load Theory. Data was collected through a purposive sampling technique; a quantitative analysis was carried out on a sample of 350 young people. The participants' video gaming habits and cognitive abilities were evaluated by the completion of a Likert scale survey questionnaire. The study examined how video games affect attention, memory, and problem-solving abilities, uncovering a mix of positive and negative connections to cognitive functions.The study's findings hold significant importance for policymakers, parents, and educators, offering valuable insights into how video gaming affects the cognitive abilities of youth. It presents recommendations for promoting positive gaming habits and lays the groundwork for further exploration in the field of video game.
