Mental Exercise and Mental Aging: Evaluating the Validity of the “Use It or Lose It” Hypothesis
Abstract
It is widely believed that keeping mentally active will prevent age-related mental decline. The primary prediction of this mental-exercise hypothesis is that the rate of age-related decline in measures of cognitive functioning will be less pronounced for people who are more mentally active, or, equivalently, that the cognitive differences among people who vary in level of mental activity will be greater with increased age. Although many training studies, and comparisons involving experts, people in specific occupations, and people whose mental activity levels are determined by their self-reports, have found a positive relation between level of activity and level of cognitive functioning, very few studies have found an interactive effect of age and mental activity on measures of cognitive functioning. Despite the current lack of empirical evidence for the idea that the rate of mental aging is moderated by amount of mental activity, there may be personal benefits to assuming that the mental-exercise hypothesis is true.

“The relevance of intervention studies for the cognitive-enrichment hypothesis has also been called into question because maintenance is rarely assessed beyond 1 or 2 years following the end of the intervention (e.g., Salthouse, 2006).”

“Salthouse (2006) found Age -Activity interactions in his cross-sectional data set for verbal ability, consistent with acculturation and knowledge-acquisition effects.”

“there are interesting measurement issues with these self-reports, because frequency estimation is a fallible process and the multiple-item scales do not encourage the kind of thoughtful reconstruction that maximizes validity of the self-reports (e.g., Jobe & Mingay, 1991).”

“It is also useful to remember that the criterion of Age -Activity interactions advocated by Salthouse (2006) may not be necessary to produce important cognitive-enrichment effects for intellectually stimulating activities.”

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.
