DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is part of a larger project that analyzes assessments of cognitive functioning in survey interviews to describe the interactional dimensions of what we often think of as "cognitive" processing or functioning. We examine how the interaction between the interviewer and respondent contributes to the outcomes of cognitive assessments, analyze how respondents may use social, interactional resources to compensate for possible cognitive deficits, seek interactional indicators of cognitive functioning, and identify features of the interaction that can be used to improve measurement in Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) surveys of older adults. The interactional data for the project are provided by an important and unique feature of the University of Wisconsin Center for the Demography of Aging and Health collaborative and multi-disciplinary program on aging and the life course. In its methodology, this program and the 2004 Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS) telephone survey incorporates high quality digital voice recordings for thousands of interviews. The proposed project utilizes these recordings for studying and introducing methodological innovations. It is expected that the procedures and findings of this project will enrich and improve the research in other components of the WLS P01. In the proposed project, we are dealing with a central paradox in the interviewing of older adults with regard to their health and well-being. In terms of cognitive functioning, the assessment based on a survey answer may depend on interaction that is itself influenced by that functioning. In order to understand the relation between interaction and cognition, and to improve the measurement of cognition, we are studying the relationship between cognitive and interactional skills, seeking to identify behavioral correlates that could enhance the quality of measurements of cognitive functioning in current and future studies. We integrate the qualitative methods of Conversation Analysis with the quantitative approach of interaction coding, an integration that presents strong possibilities for cross validation of both qualitative and quantitative findings. Our project goes step-by-step, first identifying interactional phenomena related to cognition, then using these phenomena to apply and test interaction codes, and finally modeling and quantitatively testing the relation between interaction and cognition.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案是一个更大项目的一部分，该项目分析了调查访谈中的认知功能评估，以描述我们通常认为的“认知”处理或功能的干扰维度。我们研究了访谈者和受访者之间的互动如何有助于认知评估的结果，分析了受访者如何使用社会，访谈资源，以弥补可能的认知缺陷，寻求认知功能的访谈指标，并确定功能的互动，可用于改善测量的计算机辅助电话访谈（CATI）调查的老年人。该项目的数据是由威斯康星州中心的人口老龄化和健康的合作和多学科计划老龄化和生命过程的一个重要和独特的功能。在其方法，该计划和2004年威斯康星州纵向研究（WLS）电话调查纳入了高品质的数字录音的数千次采访。拟议的项目利用这些录音研究和介绍方法创新。预计该项目的程序和结果将丰富和改进WLS P01其他组成部分的研究。在拟议的项目中，我们正在处理一个中心的矛盾，在采访老年人对他们的健康和福祉。在认知功能方面，基于调查答案的评估可能取决于本身受该功能影响的交互。为了了解互动和认知之间的关系，并改善认知的测量，我们正在研究认知和互动技能之间的关系，寻求识别行为相关因素，可以提高当前和未来研究中认知功能测量的质量。我们整合了定性的对话分析方法与互动编码的定量方法，一个集成，提出了很强的可能性，定性和定量的结果交叉验证。我们的项目一步一步地进行，首先识别与认知相关的干扰现象，然后使用这些现象来应用和测试交互代码，最后建模和定量测试交互与认知之间的关系。
