• Bilingualism as a protection against the onset of symptoms of dementia. (2007, background): “…reserve (also referred to as cognitive reserve, the term used n the present report) suggests that sustained complex mental ctivity protects against dementia in terms of both incidence Valenzuela & Sachdev, 2006a) and the rate of cognitive decline n elderly individuals (Valenzuela & Sachdev, 2006b).”
• Effects of memory training on cortical thickness in the elderly (2010, background): “Population studies have indicated that mental exercise may slow the rate of cognitive decline (Valenzuela and Sachdev, 2006a) and decrease the risk of dementia (Valenzuela and Sachdev, 2006b).”
• Cognitive control and lexical access in younger and older bilinguals. (2008, background): “In a further article, the same authors conducted a meta-analysis involving over 47,000 individuals and concluded that higher levels of brain reserve were related to decreased rates of cognitive decline in old age (Valenzuela & Sachdev, 2006b).”
• Cognitive Reserve (2009, neutral): “A review paper (Valenzuela & Sachdev, 2005) found 22 papers reporting cohort studies of the effects of education, occupation, premorbid IQ and mental activities in incident dementia published up to 2004.”
• Epidemiology of Alzheimer Disease (2012, positive): “A meta-analysis examined cohort studies of the effects of education, occupation, premorbid IQ and mental activities on dementia risk (Valenzuela and Sachdev 2005).”
• Education and Dementia in the Context of the Cognitive Reserve Hypothesis: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analyses and Qualitative Analyses (2012, background): “While five review articles published after 2005 have dealt with the relation between education and dementia each has limitations that result in them being incomplete in their review of the research literature [12], [18], [21–23].”
• Ageing and Skills: A Review and Analysis of Skill Gain and Skill Loss over the Lifespan and over Time. OECD Education Working Papers, No. 72. (2012, positive): “Education, however, has been found to reduce the risk of experiencing dementia in old age and to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s (Andel et al.; 2005; Valenzuela & Sachdev, 2005; Paradise et al., 2009).”
• Bilingualism: The good, the bad, and the indifferent* (2009, background): “Furthermore, the accumulated effect of stimulating experience across the lifespan translates into cognitive reserve, a concept describing the protective effects of experience against cognitive decline with aging (Stern, 2002; Fratiglioni, Paillard-Borg and Winblad, 2004; Kramer et al., 2004; Staff, ”
