COVID2023CognitionData: Cognitive and Health Impacts of COVID-19 Infection and Vaccination

A cohort of 4,446 subjects participated in an internet study using online tests to analyze the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 severity, and vaccination on health and cognitive performance. The data was collected for a research article by Jaroslav Flegr and Ashkan Latifi. The study found significant associations between disease severity and negative impacts on health and cognitive performance, and a positive association between vaccination and intelligence.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between COVID-19 severity and cognitive impairment based on test performance data.
• Analyzing the mediating role of education in the association between vaccination and intelligence.
• Investigating age-related patterns in infection likelihood, disease severity, and vaccination uptake.
• Studying the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on health outcomes and information processing precision.

Strengths

• Data from a large cohort of 4,446 subjects.
• Includes measures of intelligence, memory, and information processing precision and speed.
• Examines multiple factors: infection status, disease severity, vaccination status, age, and education.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data collection method (internet study) may introduce self-selection bias.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
