Thanks for bumping this topic up.
I had an uneven cognitive profile indicative of a learning difficulty long before I came under psych services. I’m not aware of any great cognitive decline, beyond what could be attributed to a normal,age related decline.
I do know that from 18-39 I didn’t use what intellect I had very much . At 39 I first got online , and began to use my intellect a lot more.
It’s interesting research, but I do wonder how relevant it is to people here . Despite our problems the fact we can contribute here suggests we are doing comparatively well in cognitive terms compared to those people with psychosis who aren’t online.
