I think ui is like a language that you need to read to be able to navigate software. My experience is that many older people learn to use software by rote and can't read the UI well. Even quite technically skilled people. But my niece could read a UI from a young age and is more able to figure stuff out. And young people are more willing to use the UI hints that older people avoid (like a ribbon on word).
