This article is a rehash of a New York Post article that quotes Dr. Jared Horvarth who testified before Congress. His testimony [1] references PISA, PIRLS and TIMSS scores.
Edit: His testimony concludes:
> This is not a debate about rejecting technology. It is a question of aligning educational tools with how human learning actually works.
> Evidence indicates that indiscriminate digital
expansion has weakened learning environments rather than strengthened them.
> Federal policy can restore balance by demanding evidence, protecting children’s
developmental needs, and ensuring that innovation serves learning rather than attention
capture.
> Our responsibility is not to maximize screen exposure, but to maximize the cognitive
capacity and long-term flourishing of the next generation.
