Abstract

Introduction: The intensive use of digital technologies has significantly transformed study habits and cognitive processes among university students, particularly sustained attention. Previous studies suggest that constant exposure to digital stimuli may lead to attentional fragmentation and reduced academic performance.Methodology: This study followed a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 40 university students selected through non-probabilistic sampling. Likert-type instruments were used to assess digital habits and sustained attention. Data analysis included the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test and Spearman’s correlation coefficient.Results: The findings revealed a high frequency of digital habits among students, along with predominantly medium and low levels of sustained attention. A statistically significant moderate negative correlation was found (ρ = -0.48; p
