Smartphone addiction has emerged as a salient behavioral concern, with growing evidence linking excessive use to disruptions in cognitive functioning, including attention, memory, and executive control (Montag Panova Wilmer et al., 2017).

Results reveal that the moderator variables such as gender, birth order, family system and educational levels are crucial in enhancing the relationship between smartphone addiction and cognitive failures.
