Bilingualism reduces associations between cognition and the brain at baseline, but does not show evidence of cognitive reserve over time
Studies suggest that bilingualism may be associated with better cognition, but the role of active bilingualism, the daily use of two languages, on cognitive trajectories remains unclear. One hypothesis is that frequent language switching may protect cognitive trajectories against effects of brain atrophy. Here, we examined interaction effects between language and brain variables on cognition among Hispanic participants at baseline (N = 153) and l…
Shifting of Cognitive Assessments Between Face-to-Face and Telephone Administration
Differences by mode of administration are apparent in cognitive measurement in older adults, albeit to a small degree in our study, and most pronounced for tests of memory and attention. The importance of accounting for mode differences ultimately depends on one's research question and study sample: not all associations may be affected by mode differences, and such modification may only be apparent among those with lower cognitive functioning
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Sleep Quality among Older Adults
In this cohort, racial/ethnic differences in sleep quality were common
You Say Tomato, I Say Radish
The cognitive assessments in the U.S. HRS and its International Partner Studies reflect comparable underlying cognitive constructs. We discuss the assumptions underlying our methods, present alternatives, and future directions for cross-national harmonization of cognitive aging data
Multivariable-multimethod analysis of the dimensions of interpersonal behavior
