Feels like a lot of jumping to conclusion in the article. It just assumes the causation like it's been proven.

It also assumes the finding is negative, which is more subtle but similarly problematic. Decline in memory might just mean that our brain is reallocating capacity for something else. It could also mean that the nature of what we're trying to remember has changed and it's now more difficult (e.g. There's more entropy in the data, or the data is changing more often).

Research good, article reasoning sloppy.
