- Abstract
Modern preschoolers are active users of digital devices, which affects their development of executive functions. To study how the features of using digital devices and the development of executive functions are related in preschool children, we conducted a study involving 417 children aged 6–7 years who attended kindergartens in Moscow. The study showed that children who used digital devices once a week had a higher level of development of auditory working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibition than children who used digital devices 3-4 times a week. Also, the study showed that both awareness of the ability to use digital devices for communication and personal experience of using digital devices for communication were associated with higher levels of executive functions. In addition, awareness of the ability to use digital devices as a means to get information and pass it to others was associated with higher levels of visual working memory development.
