The impact of technology use on cognitive development and lexical attrition in L1 and L2 among younger students with ADHD: Opportunities and challenges.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe widespread integration of technology in education offers both exciting opportunities and significant challenges, particularly for learners with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While digital tools can provide interactive and personalized learning experiences, ADHD students face cognitive difficulties that may impair their ability to retain vocabulary in both first (L1) and second (L2) languages.
objectiveThis study examines the complex relationship between ADHD, technology use, and lexical attrition, focusing on how working memory deficits, fragmented attention, and cognitive overload contribute to vocabulary loss. It introduces the Cognitive-Behavioral Technology Interaction (CBTI) Framework to explain these interactions and explore how technology can be optimized to mitigate its negative effects.
methodsA conceptual analysis was conducted, integrating cognitive theories such as Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), Monitor Theory, and the Working Memory Model (WMM). The study synthesizes existing research on ADHD and lexical attrition, particularly within digital learning environments, to develop structured recommendations for improving vocabulary retention.
resultsFindings suggest that digital environments characterized by multitasking and rapid stimuli exacerbate vocabulary loss in ADHD learners. However, when used strategically, technological interventions such as spaced repetition systems (SRS) can enhance vocabulary retention by reintroducing words at optimal intervals. Structured, distraction-free learning environments were identified as essential for supporting ADHD students' cognitive needs.
conclusionThe study underscores the need for collaboration between educators and healthcare providers to design effective, structured technological interventions for ADHD learners. By implementing targeted strategies, technology can shift from a challenge to a supportive tool for language retention and improved educational outcomes.
