Summary:
This human provocation study investigated whether using a mobile phone affects the short-term memory of elementary school students. A total of 60 students aged 8-10 years were exposed to real and sham exposure from a mobile phone for 10 min each (spaced by 30 min). Tests on visual reaction time and short-term memory were done before and after each exposure. The authors found that short-term exposure to RF radiation from a mobile phone improved elementary school students’ short-term memory but not their reaction time.
