Despite widespread computer training, many individuals still struggle with basic computer tasks. This study suggests that cognitive abilities, specifically fluid intelligence, are a stronger predictor of computer skill than the amount of training received. The research indicates that inherent intelligence plays a more crucial role in computer literacy than previously believed, challenging the focus on simply providing more training.
