520			_aWith the increasing reliance smartphones in daily life, concerns regarding their impact on cognitive abilities have emerged, particularly among students. This study investigates the relationship between smartphone usage and cognitive performance among Grade 11 students using the Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT). A total of 149 students were categorized into low, moderate, and high smartphone usage groups based on their average daily screen time. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design to assess the effects of smartphone exposure on cognitive focUs and information processing speed. Findings indicate that while moderate smartphone users demonstrated slightly faster response times, statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA revealed no significant difference in SCWT performance across the three usage categories. This suggests that smartphone usage, in itself, may not be a primary determinant of cognitive ability. However, the study acknowledges external factors such as sleep quality, stress levels, and multitasking habits that may influence cognitive performance. These results challenge common assumptions about smartphone dependency and cognitive decline, highlighting the need for a more nuanced perspective on digital device use. The study provides valuable insights for students, educators, and parents regarding responsible smartphone use and its inmplications on academic performance. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term cognitive effects of smartphone usage, considering additional variables such as memory retention, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking abilities.
