Wardt, Veronika van der, Bandelow, Stephan and Hogervorst, Eef (2010): The relationship between cognitive abilities, well-being and use of new technologies in older people. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 333-334.

“Motivation -- The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between cognitive abilities, well-being and use of new technologies in order to support the development of systems to sustain digital engagement of older people. Research approach -- A literature review analysed scientific articles regarding the relationship between cognitive abilities, well-being and use of new technologies for older people. Findings/Design -- The results showed that cognition has a significant effect on use of new technologies, but only one study looked at the reverse relationship and did not find a clear result. The relationship between well-being and technology use needs to be clarified in further research; however, there is strong evidence that well-being affects cognitive abilities. Research limitations/Implications -- The relationship might have an interactive, reciprocal dynamic, but needs further investigation, as not all factors in this relationship have been equally well explored. Take away message -- The results highlight the need to include well-being and health into the investigation of the relationship between cognitive abilities and use of new technologies.”
