  Since the establishment of the Faculty of Central European Studies, the staff of our Institute have been engaged in both theoretical and practical inquiries related to talent development. This study presents a brief history of the Institute of the Hungarian Linguistics and Literary Science at the Faculty of Central European Studies of the Constantine Philosopher University of Nitra, outlines the linguistic research conducted there, and provides an overview of the Institute’s talent development activities in the field of linguistics. a century and historical adversity to become an internationally recognised intellectual centre. The Institute has overcome the difficulties of more than half a century and historical adversity to become an internationally recognised intellectual centre. It has a wide range of educational and scientific activities, the mainstay of which is talent management and training. The Institute's core mission is to carry out research in two fields: language and literature. There needs to be a growing awareness in our institution of the responsibility to provide prospective teachers with a multifaceted, complex body of knowledge, not only in terms of lexical knowledge and methodology, but also in terms of the possibilities for developing their professional role as individuals. The study also reports on the linguistic talent development programs currently being implemented at the Institute, as well as on its strategies for fostering the next generation of scholars.

  This narrative review explores the growing prevalence of video gaming among children and its impact on their visual cognitive development, particularly attentional mechanisms and visual information processing. As games are introduced at younger ages and become increasingly prevalent, concerns emerge about their effects on developing cognitive systems. The review synthesises current evidence on how fast-paced video games challenge children’s visual processing, filling a gap in the literature, which has mostly focused on adolescents and adults. It outlines childhood gaming habits, key visual cognitive developments, and the effects of gaming on these processes. Research suggests that video gaming can enhance spatial-visual attention and stimulus processing speed; however, the effects vary depending on age, game type, offline engagement, and parental involvement. Early and excessive gaming may lead to cognitive overload and attention difficulties that extend beyond gaming contexts. While games may enhance divided attention, these skills often fail to transfer effectively to real-world tasks, such as learning. The review concludes with practical considerations for age-appropriate, balanced gaming to support healthy cognitive development.
