As technology advances and becomes more innovative, electronic media have become more commonplace in daily life. Studies have revealed a growing trend in Hong Kong's children's use of electronic media recently, considering the social segregation brought about by the COVID-19 outbreak, which has forced students to attend school at home. As a result, children in Hong Kong are becoming more accustomed to using electronic media and are exhibiting a youthful trend. Nonetheless, children's cognitive development and ability may be significantly impacted by this occurrence in Hong Kong. Thus, the current study's goal is to examine how electronic media affects Hong Kong children's cognitive development, with a particular focus on children in Hong Kong.Moreover, this study examines pertinent national and international research first before summarizing the findings about how electronic media affects kids' cognitive development. Then I used a questionnaire survey methodology to gather information on the electronic media usage of 52 children in Hong Kong near local schools. Also, I used the SPSS analytical methodology, which includes frequency analysis and correlation analysis, during the data analysis process since the results indicate that there are some correlations between children's cognitive development and their use of electronic media. The study's conclusions also have implications for the family and educational environments in the Hong Kong area. It offers pertinent direction and advice and aids educators and parents in comprehending the effects of electronic media on kids' cognitive development.However, there are still some limitations, including sample representation issues and the limitations of resources and time. So, the research still lacked representativeness and did not reflect all the children in Hong Kong's use of electronic media and its effects on children's cognitive development more accurately. In conclusion, this study aims to establish a foundation for future research and practice in related sectors while offering a preliminary understanding of the influence of electronic media on children's cognitive development in Hong Kong
