Abstract: More than three decades of scientific research have established a positive relationship between play and skill development in early childhood. Not only because of the activity that play generates, but also because play is part of the developmental situation of childhood. The virtues that play brings to the motor, cognitive and socioemotional development of the player are well documented when referring to traditional play, outdoor play and role play. However, the current situation of child development is largely digitized. This includes both the activity of play, as well as everyday interactions and learning tools. Thus, digital scenarios have become an important mediation tool with which our children interact. The impact of this developmental situation on the cognitive skills and abilities of the population is only recently beginning to be studied in comparison to the population's years of exposure to the digitized world. We will share some data on children's play literacy, the digitization of play spaces, and the amount of time our children spend in digital interactions. Given the increase of digital interactions in children's daily lives, their cognitive developments and skills are largely responsive to their life scenarios. Some have begun to give these generations the nickname of "digital natives". This name makes it possible to highlight the importance of the context on the development of the cognitive abilities of populations.
