Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Neuroscience
- Gerontology
Background:
- Cognitive reserve theory explains individual differences in cognitive performance despite similar cognitive decline.
- Further psychometric validation is needed for cognitive reserve assessment tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the structural validity of the Cognitive Reserve Scale (CRS).
- To establish reference norms for interpreting CRS scores.
Main Methods:
- 172 participants (aged 36-88) completed the CRS.
- Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) was used for analysis.
Main Results:
- ESEM confirmed the proposed theoretical model for the CRS.
- Discriminative indices were acceptable (0.21-0.50).
- Reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.80) and error indices were adequate.
Conclusions:
- The CRS aligns with its theoretical framework.
- Established norms allow for score interpretation.
- The study validates the CRS for research applications.
