The relationship between political ideology and cognition has received little attention. In this presentation, we will describe our pioneering investigation into the relationship between cognitive decline and political ideology. This work, supported in part by the UCI Medical Humanities Initiative, analyzed ideological self-identification, political policy choices, and cognition in individuals participating in the landmark UCI project The 90+ Study. We will describe our novel findings, and their implications going forward.
