Cognitive Reserve (CR) refers to the brain’s resilience against age-related or pathological changes to the brain. CR is shaped by lifelong engagement in education, working, and leisure activities. While the short Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (s-CRIq) has been translated into over 16 languages, it has not yet been contextualised for the South African context. This pilot study aimed to translate and adapt the s-CRIq for cultural relevance and practical applicability within the South African context, and secondly, to examine whether individuals with a greater quality of education, irrespective of age, demonstrate better performance on neuropsychological tests, specifically the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), compared to those with lower quality of education.

Abstract

Cognitive Reserve (CR) refers to the brain’s resilience against age-related or pathological changes to the brain. CR is shaped by lifelong engagement in education, working, and leisure activities. While the short Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (s-CRIq) has been translated into over 16 languages, it has not yet been contextualised for the South African context. This pilot study aimed to translate and adapt the s-CRIq for cultural relevance and practical applicability within the South African context, and secondly, to examine whether individuals with a greater quality of education, irrespective of age, demonstrate better performance on neuropsychological tests, specifically the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), compared to those with lower quality of education.
