More work is needed to explain the findings, but the researchers suspect a two-way relationship underpins the results. In this scenario, people with better thinking skills are more likely to use digital devices, but there are also cognitive benefits to be had from embracing the technology.

This is bullcrap.

What, using smartphones is cognitively beneficial in old age? Like, the total opposite of young people, though?

Smart phones cognitively stunt young folks but improve cognitive ability for the older?

Something isn't right here. Some information is missing or something.
