Intervention mechanisms to curb "popcorn brain" generation in Malaysia
Abstract
The increasing consumption of short-form digital content has led to a phenomenon known as �popcorn brain,� where individuals struggle with sustained attention and deep thinking. This issue is particularly relevant in Malaysia, where digital engagement is high, impacting cognitive development, productivity, and mental well-being. This research aims to explore intervention mechanisms to mitigate the effects of popcorn brain and promote a healthier digital environment for the young generation.
