The concept of cognitive reserve (CR) refers to the situation when the brain pathology does not correspond to clinical symptoms, i.e. they are absent or weakened in combination with the established clinical diagnosis and/or the prediction of cognitive deficits (e.g. in the aging process). The article discusses the definition of cognitive reserve, methods of its measurement, brain mechanisms of CR, the role of CR in the process of successful aging, debatable issues and reference of the idea of CR to clinical practice.

Koncepcja rezerwy poznawczej (cognitive reserve – CR) odnosi się do sytuacji, w której patologia mózgu nie koresponduje z objawami klinicznymi, tj. są one nieobecne lub słabo nasilone w zestawieniu z postawionym rozpoznaniem klinicznym i/lub przewidywaniem deficytów poznawczych (np. w procesie starzenia się). W artykule omówiono definicję rezerwy poznawczej, sposoby jej pomiaru, mózgowe mechanizmy CR, rolę CR w procesie satysfakcjonującego starzenia się i kwestie dyskusyjne oraz odniesiono ideę CR do praktyki klinicznej.

The aim of neuropsychological diagnosing of a patient with CNS pathology is, among others, description of his cognitive, emotional, and social difficulties. Patients often report a feeling of frustration and lost giving different reasons for their. They are often recognized by diagnostics and relatives as an indicator of real difficulties, and they determine the direction of (neuro)psychological help. Proper clinical qualification of these complaints in relation to symptoms and in relation to the clinical characteristics of aetiological factors allows to make a correct neuropsychological diagnosis. The article illustrates this issue by descriptions of two people with CNS damage of a different aetiology. In the first case, the expression of anxiety associated with the belief about memory disorders was an element of executive disorders and perseveration, in the second – sense of loss was the result awareness of increasing cognitive impairment.

Celem diagnozowania neuropsychologicznego pacjenta z patologią OUN jest m.in. opis jego trudności poznawczych, emocjonalnych i społecznych. Pacjenci często zgłaszają poczucie frustracji i zagubienia, podając różne przyczyny. Są one często uznawane przez diagnostów i bliskich za wskaźnik rzeczywistych trudności i wyznaczają kierunek pomocy (neuro)psychologicznej. Właściwa kliniczna kwalifikacja tych skarg w relacji do objawów i do klinicznych charakterystyk czynników etiologicznych pozwala postawić trafną diagnozę neuropsychologiczną. W artykule zilustrowano to zagadnienie, przytaczając opisy dwóch osób z uszkodzeniem OUN o odmiennej etiologii. W pierwszym przypadku wyrażanie niepokoju związanego z przekonaniem o zaburzeniach pamięci było elementem zaburzeń wykonawczych i perseweracji, w drugim – poczucie zagubienia było efektem świadomości narastających zaburzeń poznawczych.

Most of the data obtained from studies of memory in patients with dementia, especially with the dementia of Alzheimer type indicates unawareness of deficits of their own memory. The results of previous research are not consistent, however, suggest that certain aspects of patients’memory can be adequately assessed by them. The research involved patients with DAT (N=15) and appropriately selected group of individuals without neuropsychiatric diseases (N=15). The task was estimate the level of recall of words from the list (judgment of learning - 10 trials), and then to remember and recall those words (10 trials). The subjective (estimates) and objective (level of reminding) results were compared. During studies the level of intensity of depression, the overall level of cognitive functioning and language capabilities and the subjective assessment of general characteristics of own memory and their correlation with the level of estimation and recall of lists of words was analyses. It was found that the DAT patients had stayed below their possibilities to remember words, and recalled fewer words than control group. Both patients with DAT and healthy individuals overestimated their own skills. In the control group the relationship between the intensity of depressive mood, general assessment of their own memory, overall level of cognitive functioning and the subjective assessment of the possibilities to remember a list of words, and sometimes also with the level of reminders was demonstrated. None of these variables (general assessment of own memory, language capabilities, overall level of cognitive functioning) did not specifically affected subjective ratings and performances in DAT group. Data suggest, that not all aspects of knowledge about own memory disintegrate in DAT. In dementia the knowledge about general properties of memory and about its specific aspects became independent processes which that in healthy subject are mutually dependent.

The knowledge about one’s own memory (metamemory) is a topic of research of the various subdisciplines of psychology. There are taken into consideration the relations between metamemory and affective processes, personality, self-awareness, cognitive processes, and social factors. The aim of our study was to identify the determinants of knowledge of one’s own memory and the degree of the adequacy to the actual performance. The study included 50 adult participants without neuropsychiatric impairments. The general subjective assessment of one’s own memory (Memory Effectiveness Assessment Questionnaire), judgment of learning lists of words (JOL), the level of reminders of words and calibration (the degree of convergence of judgments and reminders of words), were the dependent variables. The intensity of affect (SUPIN), efficiency of semantic memory (verbal fluency) and executive functions (Ruff Figural Fluency Test – RFFT), as well as demographic variables were the independent variables. Higher self-assessment of general characteristics of the one’s own memory was positively associated with positive affect as personality trait. Judgment of learning was related to the level of reminders of words, and depended on the efficiency of semantic memory. None of these factors did not explain the calibration. The results confirm that the different forms of metamemory have different determinants. This finding should be applied in the diagnosis and treatment of metacognitive functions.

The studies included 302 Polish participants. There were used 7 verbal fluency tasks (categories: animals, vehicles, words beginning with the letter F, letter F, words from the category joy, fear, and verbs corresponding to a question: “what man does”?, namely verbs fluency). The aim of the analysis was to identify the factors that determine the ability of finding words in accordance with the criteria. The significant predictors of the numbers of words given in accordance with the requirements were variables such as age, duration of education, the level of language skills/semantic memory and working memory, as well as affective states and traits. Analysis of the different characteristics of the tasks (grammatical, semantic, affective) indicates that their performance is determined by the interaction of similar factors, except for affective factors.

The research which use the tasks of verbal fluency show the essential diagnostic value of them in reference to clinical analyses. The performance of verbal fluency tasks is modified by different individual factors such as age, sex, education as well as affective ones. The very important factor considered as having an influence on verbal fluency is mood. The aim of the study is to discuss the relationships between the different types of verbal fluency indicators and the intensity of depressive mood. The final analysis of the results of 200 people aged in 18-70 years old is presented. Although the depressive people show the lower scores in the different verbal fluency tasks their results are explained by age and education. Discussion on diagnostic values of neutral and affective verbal fluency is presented.
