The immense amount of heterogeneity within the aging population has prompted researchers to explore the differences between individuals who experience various degrees of age-related declines. A focus has been the exploration of potential external influences, such as lifestyle and health, which may attenuate age-related changes within individuals. One area of interest has been the influence of activity participation and cognitive functioning in older adults.

520 $a The immense amount of heterogeneity within the aging population has prompted researchers to explore the differences between individuals who experience various degrees of age-related declines. A focus has been the exploration of potential external influences, such as lifestyle and health, which may attenuate age-related changes within individuals. One area of interest has been the influence of activity participation and cognitive functioning in older adults.
520 $a This dissertation examined the relation between three types of activity, namely social, physical and cognitive, along with both traditional measures of cognition as well as social cognition. Sixty two individuals age 65-87 (mean age 77.3 +/- 6.4) were recruited from cognitive (e.g., bridge clubs, educational classes, mahjong clubs), social (e.g., singles group, senior centers), and physical activity groups (e.g., yoga classes, aerobic classes, chair exercise classes, swimming groups) throughout southern California. Activity was assessed through two methodological approaches, an Activity Questionnaire and a Photograph Diary (Hulstch et al., 1999).
520 $a Participants were assigned to either a social, a cognitive, or a low physical activity group using responses from the Activity Questionnaire and a k-means cluster analysis. Responses from the Photograph Diary and the Activity Questionnaire were also used to examine the relation between degree of participation in each of the three activity types and cognitive function.
520 $a Cognitive ability was assessed using traditional cognitive measures; simple and choice reaction time, word recall, verbal fluency, digit symbol, letter series, the Multi Source Interference task, digit span, and social cognitive measures, person perception task, and means-end problem solving task. Exploratory factor analysis including traditional cognitive measures yielded 4 factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.
520 $a Group differences were assessed by a one way analysis of variance. Letter series, verbal fluency, word recall and digit symbol loaded most strongly on the second factor, with the social group performing significantly better than the low physical group.
520 $a The predictive nature of activity frequency and mere participation in activity (independent of frequency) on cognitive function was assessed through multiple regression analyses. Frequency of social activity significantly predicted performance on traditional cognitive measures including the word recall, word fluency, letter series, digit symbol task, choice reaction time task and person perception task. Frequency of cognitive activity contributed significantly to performance on the choice reaction time and MEPS tasks. Frequency of physical activity significantly predicted performance on the person perception task. Participation in social activity, regardless of frequency, significantly predicted performance on the choice reaction time tasks.
520 $a These findings suggest that frequency and mere participation in different forms of activity help maintain cognitive function into old age and highlight the benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle.
