Mediatory effect of depression in the relations between cognitive reserve and cognitive abilities. Does a CR index matter?

Abstract

a more detailed self-report component of the CR indicator about both past and current life may correspond to a weaker or insignificant relation between CR and depressive mood as well as between depression and cognitive capacities. Varied approaches to operationalisation of CR result in discrepan-cies regarding the role of resources in the stabilisation and dynamics of cognitive status in ageing people and in clinical groups.
