Language and Cognition

345
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Summary

Self-reported visual functioning is linked to cognitive decline in Hispanic/Latino adults. However, self-reported hearing function did not show an association with cognition in this population.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cognitive decline is a growing concern, particularly in aging populations.
  • Visual and hearing impairments are prevalent and potentially modifiable risk factors for cognitive health.
  • Understanding these associations in diverse populations like Hispanic/Latinos is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between self-reported visual functioning (VF) and hearing functioning with cognitive performance.
  • To investigate these associations within the Hispanic/Latino population, a group with unique health considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from 1,056 participants aged 45+ in the Miami Ocular Study of Latinos.
  • Assessed cognitive function using tests like DSST, Word Fluency, and B-SEVLT recall.
  • Measured VF with the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ) and hearing with HHIA/E-S, controlling for covariates.

Main Results:

  • Impaired self-reported visual functioning (NEI-VFQ scores) was significantly associated with poorer performance on three cognitive tests.
  • A 4-point decrease in NEI-VFQ scores correlated with significant differences in DSST, Word Fluency, and B-SEVLT recall.
  • Self-reported hearing function (HHIA/E-S) showed no association with any cognitive measures.

Conclusions:

  • Impaired visual functioning is associated with worse cognitive outcomes in the Hispanic/Latino population.
  • Self-reported hearing function may not accurately reflect hearing loss's impact on cognition in this demographic.
  • Visual and hearing impairments are treatable risk factors that may help preserve cognitive function in Hispanics/Latinos.
