Abstract
The goal of the study has been to demonstrate the utility of cognitive reserve in the process of healthy and pathological aging. In addition to checking the different complementary theoretical models (active-passive), are also defined the concepts of Memory Reserve, Cerebral Reserve and Cognitive reserve. The variables that take an important part in the configuration of the cognitive reserve like premorbid intelligence, education, cognitive activity, hobbies, and work out have been analyzed, too. Finally, we present the specific questionnaires most used for the measurement of the cognitive reserve.
