SESSION 6 Workshop: Technology Induced Cognitive Decline IHIET 7 2
Tuesday June 23 Speakers: Pedro Agua, Anacleto Correia, José Bartolomeu, Escola Naval - MDN; CINAV, Portugal

12:00 -13:00  (GMT+1)














Summary: Technology has become an indispensable element of modern life and the past three decades have witnessed an unprecedented proliferation of new technologies, nonetheless digital devices and associated technologies. Technological change has reshaped human interaction, and keeps shaping, yet not everything is positive about such change. Tools such as email, instant messaging, video conferencing, and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms have streamlined communication and reduced transaction costs. Yet, concerns are emerging that pervasive technology use can subtly impair higher-order cognitive and social skills. While all the recent decades of technological change have enhanced productivity and connectivity, concerns regarding their impacts on human cognition have emerged. For instance, phenomena such as “digital dementia” and “screen-time overload” have been documented in clinical and educational settings. Technology-induced cognitive decline encompasses deficits in memory retention, attentional control, social interaction and executive function correlated with chronic technology overuse. Some studies even point to physical measurable consequences as brain areas may be declining or underdeveloped. The used methodology within the scope of this study relies on literature review, critical thinking and alternative analysis methods. As main result this paper provides a review of empirical findings and relevant literature on the mechanisms of technology-induced cognitive decline and proposes some multi-level mitigation strategies spanning individual behaviour, educational interventions, design ethics, and policy development. Evidence-based recommendations and future research directions are discussed, as the practical implications form such unintended consequences deriving from intensive use of technology are critical and self-evident.

PLENARY SESSION
Day 2 Plenary Session: Human–computer Interaction IHIET 5 Auditorium
Wednesday June 24 Plenary Session Chair(s): Tibor Barath, Hungary and Tareq Ahram, USA

9:00 - 10:00  (GMT+1) Plenary Title: Personalized Learning Through Digital Nudge Applications in the AI Era
Speaker: Chei Sian Lee, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore



Speech Summary: This presentation examines the role of digital nudging applications in personalizing learning. Digital nudging, a concept based on behavioral economics, can be understood as informational cues and signals that positively influence online behaviors.
Informed by ongoing research initiatives, this presentation explores how digital nudge applications can be embedded in digital learning environments to guide learners, with implications for practical application in the AI era. The talk further explores human–computer interaction, user perceptions, acceptability, ethical considerations, and future directions for digital nudges in both research and practice, focusing on how digital nudges can be responsibly designed to foster personalized and meaningful online experiences in the era of AI.
Chei_Sian_Lee About Speaker: Chei Sian Lee is currently Professor of Information at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, where she is also the Associate Chair for Faculty and the Chair of the NTU Teaching Council. She heads the Laboratory for Online Information Research and Education, where she conducts research on human-computer interaction and information practices, and digital nudging for learning. Widely recognized for her impactful contributions, she has been ranked on the Stanford–Elsevier World’s Top 2% Scientists List and is frequently invited as a keynote speaker at major conferences. She received a PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Liautaud Graduate School of Business, as well as an M.Sc. and a B.Sc. in Computer and Information Science from the National University of Singapore.
