About 2,500 children from London will be tested at the age of 11 and 12, and then again two years later, to assess how their cognitive abilities develop in relation to their changing use of phones and other wireless technologies. Professor Patrick Haggard, deputy director of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, said it was the "largest follow-up study of its kind in adolescents worldwide". The World Health Organisation says there is no convincing evidence that mobile phones affect health, but existing data only goes back about 15 years.
