Cognitive Reserve Check-In (CRIq)

Estimate how your life experiences have built up cognitive reserve — your brain's resilience.

About This Questionnaire

The CRIq (Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire) estimates accumulated cognitive reserve based on three life domains: education, work activity complexity, and leisure activities across different decades of life.

What It Measures

• Years and level of formal education
• Cognitive complexity of lifetime work roles
• Frequency of mentally stimulating leisure activities
• Social and physical activities that build reserve

The Science

Cognitive reserve refers to the brain's resilience against neurological damage — the ability to maintain function despite accumulating pathology. Higher cognitive reserve delays the onset of dementia symptoms. It is built throughout life through education, intellectually stimulating work, and rich leisure activities.
