The Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (CRIq) aims to collect and estimate the amount of cognitive reserve acquired during a person's lifetime. In a single index (CRI), the questionnarie conveys three main sources of cognitive reserve: edudcation, working activity, and leisure time activities.
"The term Cognitive Reserve refers to the adaptability (i.e., efficiency, capacity, flexibility) of cognitive processes that helps to explain differential susceptibility of cognitive abilities or day-to-day function to brain aging, pathology, or insult"
(Stern et al, 2018, p. 1306)
