A generation's cognitive skills may be silently at risk as children offload critical thinking and reasoning to AI, risking "foreclosure" — never developing essential mental capacities. Urgent architectural change in education is needed.

The article describes a study linking high consumption of ultra-processed foods in early childhood to lower IQ scores at ages six to seven. The negative association was stronger among children who showed growth delays in infancy, and persisted after accounting for socioeconomic status and home stimulation. Possible mechanisms include gut-brain interactions and oxidative stress, though the study is observational.

This topic is of interest to psychology because it highlights how early nutrition can shape cognitive development and later school performance, illustrating the interaction between biological vulnerability and environmental exposure. It also raises considerations about confounding and cumulative disadvantage in developmental research.

When you're an expert, you already have the mental models to evaluate AI output critically. You know when it's wrong. You can spot the shortcuts. You engage with it as a thinking partner.

When you're a beginner? You lack the knowledge to assess accuracy. You don't know what "good enough" looks like. AI becomes a crutch instead of a tool.

The cognitive work you skip is the work that builds expertise.

To every #parent, #educator, #techintegrator, and #schooladministrator of #primaryschools and #secondaryschools : I highly recommend the book “The Digital Delusion” by Jared Cooney Horvath. He takes off the rose tinted glasses on our views and hype of #educationaltechnology —how it has affected our children’s #cognitivedevelopment from #literacy to #CriticalThinking and what we can do about it moving forward https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jared-cooney-horvath_%F0%9D%97%A7%F0%9D%97%B5%F0%9D%97%B2-%F0%9D%97%97%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%97%B4%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%98%81%F0%9D%97%AE%F0%9D%97%B9-%F0%9D%97%97%F0%9D%97%B2%F0%9D%97%B9%F0%9D%98%82%F0%9D%98%80%F0%9D%97%B6%F0%9D%97%BC%F0%9D%97%BB-is-activity-7403636159559434241-64JK

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 is officially available. This book makes one argument: classroom technology is harming learning, and we have no biological reason to believe this will change. More importantly, it outlines what parents, teachers, and schools can do to push back. Endorsed by incredible researchers and thinkers Jonathan Haidt, Hugh Grant, Anna Lembke, Peps Mccrea, Nicki Petrossi, Daniel Willingham, Larry Cuban, Emily Cherkin, and Paul A. Kirschner. With an afterword by Sophie Winkleman. Link here: https://lnkd.in/gy3tTTdt Thank you to everyone who helped push, refine, question, and support this work along the way. | 63 comments on LinkedIn
