Annotation: The article is devoted to an interdisciplinary topic: the impact of digitalization on students’ cognitive abilities, which is considered through the prism of the phenomenon of “digital dementia”. The relevance of the work is due to a fairly high degree of public concern about the negative consequences of the digitalization of society, as well as a relatively low degree of study of the problem in scientific and educational literature. The objectives of the study were to study and analyze the causes of dependence on the use of digital resources in the learning process, as well as to develop approaches to the effective and reasonable use of technological advances for learning a foreign language at a university. In the course of the study, an educational experiment was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire from students of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, as well as during face- to-face seminars in English. To achieve the goals and objectives of the article, a range of theoretical and empirical methods was used: student survey, observation, as well as generalization and analysis of the empirical data obtained.
