Gen Z Scores Lower Than Parents Academically, Neuroscientist Blames Tech

• Top neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath states Gen Z is the first generation to score lower than their parents in academics.
• Excessive reliance on technology, particularly 'educational technology' (EdTech), is cited as the cause for cognitive impairment.
• Gen Z shows decline in basic attention, memory, literacy, math skills, problem-solving, and general IQ despite more school time.
• Horvath notes students skim on computers, affecting deep understanding, memory, and focus, calling it 'surrender' not progress.
• He suggests reducing screen time and adopting traditional learning methods, citing poor performance in countries that embraced digital tech.
