I do think cognitive potential has not been in decline. Perhaps it has just been so overwhelmed with focusing on many things that at one time would be trivial. Whether it is watching and betting on sports, playing video games, going to the movies, etc. We are increasingly distracted by our own worlds we create. You as a writer are likely aware of this and have been for a long time. I also make games, and at times had said the only negative is that to a degree it can be much like pedaling a new drug. It can be subjectively argued that is may not be damaging, but I still ponder such things as I create.
