And I think that the findings could be replicated.<br /><br />@Barbara: I think that a large knowledge base (like your "medicine" example) can contribute towards your reserve, but in this case it's my understanding that it's not just about having the knowledge, it's about using it. Though I think that some studies show that high education is also somewhat protective, so that goes hand in hand with what you're thinking.Scientific Chickhttp://www.scientificchick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8045067453505592669.post-51848955370084051652010-10-25T05:26:59.354-07:002010-10-25T05:26:59.354-07:00An excellent and delightful analysis, SC.

Fawn makes a good point, and BTW is well-protected due to her multi-lingual abilities. <br /><br />My thoughts drifted to how certain areas have so much specific vernacular that they are sometimes referred to as a 'language'. Such as medicine or computer science. Or am I extrapolating too far from 'jargon'?

Wouldn't it be interesting if this study could be replicated in Europe, where there are plenty of countries where people commonly speak two, three, or four languages?Fawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049727418673399133noreply@blogger.com
