A new study has found that intelligence, in the form
of general cognitive abilities such as perception,
thinking and remembering, is more important than hitherto
thought at predicting a person's ability to complete
common tasks with a PC. The study was published in the
International Journal of Human-Computer Studies in
August 2024.
"Our research findings are the first clear proof that
cognitive abilities have a significant, independent
and wide-ranging effect on people's ability to use a
computer. Contrary to what was previously thought,
cognitive abilities are as important as previous
experience of computer use," says Aalto University's
Professor Antti Oulasvirta, who studied human-computer
interaction extensively with his team.

WHY did they believe, or claim, the opposite for
so long ? "PC-ism" ???
Sorry, but idiots do not become geniuses if you
park 'em in front of a computer.
