The current body of research often focuses on the problem of cognitive decline through ageing. People adapt to these changes of cognitive resources by using brain reserve. An overview of results of different studies on how cognitive abilities of older adults decline highlights high variability of conclusions and sometimes contradiction but it has been shown older adults can be as good as or even better than younger participants in specific domains. Among others, personal meaningfulness of a situation and closeness to the researcher can be strong factors when assessing cognitive abilities and the aim of this paper was to research how these effect cognitive efficiency.In the pilot study we eliminated the factor of laboratory setting and checked how cognitive efficiency and abilities change in relation to motivation. Forty-eight participants, divided into two age groups, were asked to pass a proverb interpretation test. The results showed that participant's subjective view on the researcher, perceived closeness, correlated with the adequacy in proverb interpretation. Both groups scored higher on adequacy of interpretation when they perceived to be close to the researcher. The younger adults outperformed the older but those in the older adults' group, who felt to be close to the researcher scored as well as younger adults who didn't perceived to be close to the researcher. This motivational reserve might play a role in assessing cognitive abilities and pathologies that affect the outcome of neuropsychological tests.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a dynamic and irreversible neurodegenerative illness and relates to the most widely recognized reason for dementia around the world. AD is a dynamic and lethal cerebrum ailment. Alzheimer's obliterates mind cells, bringing on memory issue or misfortune and issues with speculation and conduct sufficiently serious to influence work, long lasting leisure activities or social life. Alzheimer's illness is quickly becoming worldwide, but there is no cure for it. Now, accessible medications just give symptomatic help and do not mediate in infection prepare adequately enough to avert or cure it. Various late studies have reported that working memory does not appear to demonstrate regular age-related deficiencies in solid more established grown-ups when enthusiastic data are included. Indeed, contingent upon the capacity included, patients might demonstrate an enthusiastic advantage in their working memory execution. Moreover, this advantage is not generally obviously one-sided (e.g., toward negative or positive data). We decipher this intricate example of results as an outcome of the cooperation between numerous components including the seriousness of AD, the nature of emotional jolts, and sort of working memory errand. Clinical advantages of the accessible pharmacological treatment for AD with antidementia drugs (to be specific cholinesterase inhibitors and Memantine) are obvious. In an unexpected way, learns about the transient capacity to encode and effectively control enthusiastic data in dementia of Alzheimer's sort are few and have yielded blended results.

“…Por otro lado, Forstmeier et al (2012) indican que la reserva motivacional, que estos autores consideran importante para establecer la reserva cognitiva, se ha asociado con un riesgo reducido de depresión. Recientemente Paulson, Bowen y Lichtenberg (2013) han realizado un estudio longitudinal con mujeres de 80 y más años en el que se muestra que la reserva cognitiva no elimina, pero sí retrasa la aparición de depresión en mujeres mayores con factores de riesgo vascular.…”

RESUMEN:En el período de envejecimiento se produce una situación de atrofia y muerte neuronal lo cual ocasiona que algunas funciones cognitivas puedan verse afectadas cuando la persona se hace mayor. El cerebro humano tiene la capacidad de cambiar de estructura y función en respuesta a mecanismos internos o externos, mecanismos que se engloban dentro del constructo denominado reserva cognitiva.El objetivo de esta comunicación es profundizar sobre este constructo, analizar las diferencias del mismo por grupo de edad, y estudiar su posible relación con la reducción de la incidencia de la depresión en los adultos mayores, la cual consitituye uno de los problemas de salud mental más relevante en esa etapa del ciclo vital.Los resultados muestran que la reserva cognitiva se relaciona con una menor incidencia de sín-tomas depresivos en los adultos mayores, y que dentro de éstos, los menores de 75 años presentan una reserva cognitiva más fuerte que los que superan esa edad.Palabras clave: Envejecimiento, reserva cognitiva, depresión. ABSTRACT:Atrophy and death of neurons occur during the ageing period, which may cause certain cognitive functions to be affected when a person gets old. The human brain has the ability to change its structure and function by answering to internal and external mechanisms, which comprise the construct called cognitive reserve.The purpose of this paper is: to delve into this construct; to analyse its differences according to age group; and to study the possible connection between this construct and the reduction of incidence of depression in older adults. Depression constitutes one the most relevant mental health problems in that stage of the life cycle.
