What is cognitive skill?
Cognitive skills are the brain's abilities to think, learn, and remember. They include things like attention, memory, problem solving, and decision making. The neuroscientist in the story suggests that Gen Z's cognitive skills are declining, which means their brains might not be as good at these tasks as previous generations.
