The validity, reliability, and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Digital Amnesia Scale.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The widespread use of digital technologies has significantly influenced individuals' cognitive processes and behavioral patterns. Alongside this change, the concept of digital amnesia, defined as the tendency to offload information onto digital devices, has emerged. This study aimed to adapt the Digital Amnesia Scale (DAS) to Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability in the Turkish cultural context. Methods: This methodological study was conducted between September 1, 2025, and October 30, 2025 with individuals aged 18 years and older. A total of 205 students who consented to participate formed the study sample. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Digital Addiction Scale, and the Digital Amnesia Scale. The scale's validity was assessed through content, construct, and criterion-related validity analyses, while reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha coefficients. Descriptive statistics, reliability analyses, correlation analyses, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed for statistical evaluation. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the original three-factor structure of the scale was preserved. Unstandardized factor loadings ranged between 0.742 and 1.371, while standardized factor loadings ranged between 0.21 and 0.85. Cronbach's alpha for the overall scale was 0.844, with subdimension values ranging from 0.713 to 0.864. Criterion-related validity analyses revealed a moderate, positive, and significant correlation between the Digital Amnesia Scale and the Digital Addiction Scale. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Digital Amnesia Scale was found to be a valid and reliable measure in adult populations. The scale can be used in public health-based research to assess digital behaviors and cognitive health indicators.
