“…The results of this study also demonstrated that C-CRIq could be used as a practical and efficient tool for measuring cognitive reserve in Chinese samples. Consistent with previous studies (Nucci et al, 2012;Maiovis et al, 2016;Ozakbas et al, 2021), the total CRI scores were strongly correlated with three subscores, indicating each proxy's significant contribution to the total CRI. In addition, our inter-subscores correlations were low to moderate, reflecting the distinct information of each proxy.…”

“…Our results indicated that the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of C-CRIq was 0.68, slightly lower than that of the original study (Cronbach's alpha coefficient = 0.73) (Nucci et al, 2012), but the internal consistency was acceptable. Likewise, the test-retest reliability of the C-CRIq was slightly lower than a very recent Turkey study (ICC = 0.95) ( Ozakbas et al, 2021), but it also achieved a good stability and consistency (ICC = 0.87). The potential reason might be that CRIq, especially the CRI-LeisureTime section, was required to record the frequency and years of past activities, whereas the average age of the participants in our study was older (52.3 ± 17.2) than that of the Turkish study (39.5 ± 14.0), which may have resulted in a slight offset.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to perform the translation and adaption of the Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire into Chinese and assess the reliability of the Chinese version.Materials and MethodsThe Chinese version of the Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire was created from a standard forward-backward translation. A total of 371 volunteers, aged between 20 and 89 years, participated in this survey. Participants were divided into three age-groups (Young, Middle-aged, and Elderly), and subgroup differences were examined by independent samples t-tests, ANOVA analysis as well as post-hoc analysis. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to test the association between the total scores and each subscore (CRI-Education, CRI-WorkingActivity, and CRI-LeisureTime). The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire were assessed. The test-retest reliability was measured among 40 participants with a 2-week interval using intraclass correlation coefficient.ResultsStrong correlations were observed between the total scores and each subscore (CRI-Education, CRI-WorkingActivity, and CRI-LeisureTime: r = 0.65, 0.79, and 0.70, respectively). In contrast, it was found low to moderate correlations among three subscores. The internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha coefficient = 0.68). The intraclass correlation coefficient for total scores of the Chinese version of the Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire was 0.87 (95% CI 0.74–0.93).ConclusionThe Chinese version of the Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire was a potentially reliable and practical tool for evaluating cognitive reserve accumulated through a person's life span.

“…It is also important to consider that the CRIq is not the only tool that can be used to obtain a life-experience proxy of CR (see for example Altieri et al, 2018;Leoń et al, 2014;Valenzuela & Sachdev, 2007); other questionnaires or scales may even outperform the predictive performance of CRIq (Kartschmit et al, 2019) and in turn, the accuracy of calculated cut-offs. We used the CRIq since it is a validated and versatile instrument that has been widely used for estimating CR in some previous researches (Artemiadis et al, 2020;Lavrencic et al, 2018;Lee et al, 2019;Maiovis et al, 2018;Ozakbas et al, 2021). Here, for the first time, we show how it can be used to build more accurate normative data for clinical uses.…”

“…The Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq, Nucci et al, 2012) allows to estimate CR from education, occupational activity, and leisure-time activity as they concur in building up the reserve (Chan et al, 2018;Livingston et al, 2017;Scarmeas & Stern, 2003;Stern et al, 1995a, b;Ward et al, 2015). The CRIq is translated into many languages and it has been used both for clinical and research purposes (Artemiadis et al, 2020;Lavrencic et al, 2018;Lee et al, 2019;Maiovis et al, 2018;Montemurro et al, 2021a;Ozakbas et al, 2021). It has been also shown that, when using CRIq, the effect of CR significantly interacts with age in the expected cognitive performance (Montemurro et al, 2021b); in particular, as age increases performance is typically worse, but not when CRIq score is high.…”

Cognitive reserve estimated with a life experience questionnaire outperforms education in predicting performance on MoCA: Italian normative data

Normative data of neuropsychological tests typically consider the effect of demographic variables like age and education on performance. However, a broad literature has shown that, after the school age, other cognitively stimulating experiences (e.g., occupational attainment and a variety of leisure-time activities) may increase and build up cognitive reserve (CR), which is positively associated with better performance in many neuropsychological tests. With these premises, we investigated the predictive capability of education and a life-experience proxy of CR on a widely used cognitive screening, i.e., the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Results show that models including the more comprehensive life-experience CR proxy performed better than models including Education. Based on the results of our analyses we provide normative data and cut-offs on 440 Italian individuals aged 50-90 years, by taking into account, for the first time for the Italian population, a CR index, together with demographic variables and Education, in the calculation of regression-based norms. Accounting for life-experience CR proxies can improve the accuracy of normative data and allow a finer estimation of cognitive performance, which lead to a more tailored approach to patient assessment.

“…Cognitive reserve was assessed at baseline using the Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire (CRIq; Nucci et al, 2012). This self-report questionnaire assesses cognitive reserve as an aggregate effect of occupational, educational, and leisure activities over the lifetime, and has been demonstrated to both be independent of measures of general intelligence (Nucci et al, 2012) and reliable across a wide range of populations (Maiovis et al, 2016;Ozakbas et al, 2021).…”

Investigation into methods of addressing cognitive loss exhibited later in life is of paramount importance to the field of cognitive aging. The field continues to make significant strides in designing efficacious cognitive interventions to mitigate cognitive decline, and the very act of learning a demanding task has been implicated as a potential mechanism of augmenting cognition in both the field of cognitive intervention and studies of cognitive reserve. The present study examines individual-level predictors of complex skill learning and day-to-day performance on a gamified working memory updating task, the BirdWatch Game, intended for use as a cognitive intervention tool in older adults. A measure of verbal episodic memory and the volume of a brain region involved in verbal working memory and cognitive control (the left inferior frontal gyrus) were identified as predictors of learning rates on the BirdWatch Game. These two neuro-cognitive measures were more predictive of learning when considered in conjunction than when considered separately, indicating a complementary effect. Additionally, auto-regressive time series forecasting analyses were able to identify meaningful daily predictors (that is, mood, stress, busyness, and hours of sleep) of performance-over-time on the BirdWatch Game in 50% of cases, with the specific pattern of contextual influences on performance being highly idiosyncratic between participants. These results highlight the specific contribution of language processing and cognitive control abilities to the learning of the novel task examined in this study, as well as the variability of subject-level influences on task performance during task learning.
