Cover Story: Cognitive reserve refers to the adaptability of cognitive processes that help explain the differential susceptibility of cognitive abilities or day-to-day function to brain aging, pathology, or insult. This construct can be relevant to research and clinical practice in neuropsychology or related fields. There is currently no reliable or valid tool for estimating cognitive reserve in the Arabic language—the world’s fifth most spoken language. This study aimed to fill this gap through validating and examining some psychometric qualities of an Arabic version of the Cognitive Reserve Index Questionnaire (CRIq). The tool was used with a healthy sample in Lebanon, and the results supported its initial validation. View this paper
