Abstract: This study examines how pet ownership influences cognitive functioning and mindreading among older adults. Old pet owners are hypothesized to outperform old non-pet owners in cognitive and mindreading tasks. It potentially reveals whether and how pet ownership could build cognitive reserve and decelerate cognitive decline among older adults.
