Cognitive Conflict Inhibition in Social Media Overusers: A Study Based on the Mouse Tracking Paradigm

Poster Session IX

Keyword: Conflict

Abstract: Using a modified Stroop task and mouse-tracking, we examined cognitive conflict inhibition in 113 participants, including 40 social media overusers. Overusers showed delayed trajectory shifts and slower reaction times, indicating weakened proactive and reactive control. The study highlights executive function deficits associated with excessive social media use.
