Abstract

Digital visual overload weakens students' visual recognition, with fragmented attention and poor critical engagement, worsened by cognitive overload and inadequate visual literacy education. This impairs their analysis, interpretation and evaluation of visuals. Key teaching fixes include deep visual engagement, critical thinking, curriculum-integrated visual literacy, mindful media use and technology aid visual navigation. Targeted education can reverse the trend and restore their abilities.
