The cognitive reserve hypothesis: A longitudinal examination of age-associated declines in reasoning and processing speed.
Open accessAbstract
The term cognitive reserve is frequently used to refer to the ubiquitous finding that, during later life, those higher in experiential resources (e.g., education, knowledge) exhibit higher levels of cognitive function. This observation may be the result of either experiential resources playing protective roles with respect to the cognitive declines associated with aging or the persistence of differences in functioning that have existed since earlier adulthood. These possibilities were examined by applying accelerated longitudinal structural equation (growth curve) models to 5-year reasoning and speed data from the no-contact control group (N = 690; age 65-89 years at baseline) of the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study. Vocabulary knowledge and years of education, as markers of cognitive reserve, were related to levels of cognitive functioning but unrelated to rates of cognitive change, both before and after the (negative) relations between levels and rates were controlled for. These results suggest that cognitive reserve reflects the persistence of earlier differences in cognitive functioning rather than differential rates of age-associated cognitive declines.

“Passive models (Satz, 1993; Stern, 2002) maintain that in response to similar levels of neurobiological degradation, highreserve individuals will experience less impairment than lowreserve individuals. Resilience of nervous system functioning is theoretically indexed by brain size or synapse count, although Satz (1993…”

“In fact, a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies, conducted by Valenzuela and Sachdev (2006), found that reserve, as indexed by variables such as education, occupation, premorbid IQ, and mental activities, was associated with lower risks for incident dementia.”

“…for the observed advantages of leisure activities is that participation can improve cognitive reserve (CR), a function that allows neurons to communicate with increased efficiency, flexibility, and adaptability as well as increasing neuronal capacity (Katzman, 1993; Tucker-Drob et al., 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
