>Conclusions > >The current study provides the first neuroimaging evidence that uncovered the negative impact of SAT on creative cognition. In particular, by manipulating the semantic constraints, we found that the SAT [smartphone addiction tendency] individuals exhibited reduced cortical activations and functional connectivities in the PFC and temporal cortex, making it difficult to overcome semantic constraints and establish original associations during creative idea generation. This finding has positive implications for revealing the deleterious effects of smartphone addiction on individuals’ advanced cognitive abilities.

Very interesting, thanks.
