“…A number of studies have examined the relation between reported involvement in activities and cognitive outcomes. In support of the engagement hypothesis, small but significant relationships have been found between level of engagement in activities and performance on memory and information-processing measures (Arbuckle, Gold, & Andres, 1986;Cockburn, & Smith, 1991;Crabtree, Antrim, & Klenke, 1990;Craik, Byrd, & Swanson, 1987;Hultsch, Hammer, & Small, 1993) and on psychometric measures of intelligence (Arbuckle, Gold, Andres, Schwartzman, & Chaikelson, 1992;Gribbin et al, 1980;Schwartzman, Gold, Andres, Arbuckle, & Chaikelson, 1987).…”

RÉSUMÉCette étude a pour but l'évaluation de la fidélité et de la validité du Questionnaire d'activités (Reid & Ziegler, 1981) ainsi que la vérification de son utilité comme prédicteur du fonctionnement cognitif des gens âgés. Les sujets proviennent de deux études longitudinales lors desquelles ils ont été testés à deux reprises espacées d'environ cinq ans. La fidélité test-retest est de .54 pour l'échantillon de 158 sujets et de .43 pour celui de 76 sujets. La validité est démontrée par le changement lié à l'âge vers des activités plus passives et par des corrélations positives avec le niveau de scolarité, l'occupation, la santé et le bien-être. Des versions pondérées des scores d'activité ne s'avèrent pas supérieures aux versions non pondérées pour prédire le fonctionnement cognitif. Les niveaux d'activité prédisent la performance à certaines tâches cognitives. Ces résultats suggèrent que le Questionnaire d'activités est un outil potentiellement utile pour étudier les différences individuelles dans le vieillissement cognitif.

Patterns of cognitive activity, and their relation to cognitive function, were examined in a geographically defined, biracial population of persons aged 65 years and older. Persons (N = 6,162) were given cognitive performance tests and interviewed about their participation in common cognitive activities, like reading a newspaper. Overall, more frequent participation in cognitive activities was associated with younger age, more education, higher family income, female gender, and White race; participation in activities judged to be more cognitively intense was not strongly related to age, but was associated with more education, higher family income, male gender, and White race. Substantial heterogeneity in activity patterns remained after accounting for demographic factors, however. In an analysis controlling for demographic variables, level of cognitive function on performance tests was positively related to composite measures of the frequency and intensity of cognitive activity. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess the relation of cognitive activity patterns to stability and change in cognitive function in older persons.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
