Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the pedagogical potential of information and communication technologies (ICT) in enhancing the cognitive activity of students with delayed mental development in the context of digitalization. Since the cognitive characteristics of students with delayed mental development directly affect the learning process, visual, interactive, and individualized learning tasks offered in a digital environment serve as an effective mechanism for supporting their perception, attention, memory, and thinking processes. The article examines methods such as multimedia teaching, gamification, and the use of interactive platforms, as well as the impact of tools like LearningApps, Wordwall, Kahoot, Genially, and Padlet on the learning activity of students with delayed mental development. Theoretical and practical data indicate that ICT is an important resource for supporting the cognitive development of children with delayed mental development.
