contents Social engagement as a measurement of cognitive reserve and how it relates to different cognitive skills in college students Eva Gabriela Trejo-Becerra Vicenta Reynoso-Alcántara Psicología cognition Cognitive reserve interpersonal relationships Greater social engagement is commonly associated with more efficient cognitive processing, as it improves cognitive reserve. The aim of this research is to assess the relationship between social engagement (in the dimensions of social contact, support and conflict) and certain cognitive skills (cognitive flexibility, planning, verbal fluency, processing speed, and verbal comprehension) in young college students. This cross-sectional rank correlation study was carried out in a sample of 49 college students. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient showed relationship between: social contact and verbal fluency (r = -.299, p = .037); social support and planning (r = .368, p = .009); and social conflict and processing speed (r = .306, p = .032). The results outline a measurable relationship between social engagement and certain cognitive skills, even when said results are not entirely conclusive. Thus, the need for more detailed studies on these processes becomes clear. 2019 artículo científico 0123-9155 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=79860419011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79860419011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79860419011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79860419011/79860419011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/798/79860419011/movil 10.14718/ACP.2019.22.2.11 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=798 Acta Colombiana de Psicología application/pdf Universidad Católica de Colombia Acta Colombiana de Psicología (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.22
