“…1 In this scenario, in a systematic review 2 on the use of tablets by the elderly, cognitive benefits were reported in most of the reviewed articles. In one of the studies, 3 which involved 16 elderly people, the authors concluded that electronic devices provided results similar to those of standard cognitive training. In another study 4 testing the effect of the tablet on cognitive skills, which included 22 adults, the results showed that engagement in the intervention was associated with an Frequency of Forgetfulness Scale, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), and the Control, Autonomy, Self-Realization, and Pleasure (CASP-19) questionnaire.…”

Background Computerized cognitive training programs may have benefited the self-assessment of memory, quality of life, and mood among older adults during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Objective To determine the subjective impacts of computerized cognitive training on mood, frequency of forgetfulness, memory complaints, and quality of life in the elderly using an online platform. Methods In total, 66 elderly participants of USP 60 + , a program for the elderly offered by Universidade de São Paulo, who voluntarily enrolled in the study were selected and randomized with an allocation ratio of 1:1 into 2 groups: the training group (n = 33) and the control group (n = 33). After signing the free and informed consent form, they answered a protocol which included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Memory Complaints Questionnaire (MAC-Q), the McNair and Kahn's Frequency of Forgetfulness Scale, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), and the Control, Autonomy, Self-Realization, and Pleasure (CASP-19) questionnaire. The training cognitive game platform aimed to stimulate various cognitive aspects, including memory, attention, language, executive functions (reasoning, logical thinking), and visual and spatial skills. Results The participants of the training group showed a reduction in the MAC-Q, MacNair and Kahn, and GAI scores in the pre- and posttest comparison. Significant differences were identified between the groups regarding the total scores of the MAC-Q in the post-test, which was also evidenced by the logistic regression. Conclusion Participation in a computerized cognitive intervention promoted reductions in memory complaints, frequency of forgetfulness, and anxiety symptoms, in addition to improving self-reported quality of life.

“…O envelhecimento é um fenômeno que atinge a todos os seres humanos, no qual ocorre um declínio cognitivo que compreende desde pequenos déficits até demência (ZIMMER et al, 2017). É caracterizado como um processo dinâmico, progressivo e irreversível relacionado a fatores biológicos, psíquicos e sociais (VERAS e OLIVEIRA, 2018).…”

O envelhecimento é um fenômeno que atinge a todos os seres humanos. Provoca diversas transformações, as quais afetam a aprendizagem e memória. O artigo tem como objetivo identificar e discutir seus principais impactos na aprendizagem e memória senil. Trata-se de um relato de experiência prática vivenciada por discentes do curso de Medicina da Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT), campus Palmas, na disciplina de Neuroanatomia. A metodologia empregada foi a observação, diálogo e registro de informações pelos alunos no decorrer da extensão universitária “Conhecendo o Sistema Nervoso”, realizada na Universidade da Maturidade vinculada à UFT. A ocorrência de esquecimentos e lapsos de memória foram queixas predominantes entre os mais de 40 idosos presentes. Por outro lado, a coordenação motora diminuída compromete atividades cotidianas, bem como o uso das tecnologias pelos mesmos. Todavia, a adequação de formas alternativas de aprendizagem, que na pessoa idosa é mais lenta, fez-se eficaz durante a execução do projeto, apontando a necessidade de aprimoramento do cuidado em saúde neste público. Dessa maneira, o ato de se envelhecer impacta a qualidade de vida de quem o vivencia. Exige adaptações como exercitar a memória, a inserção do idoso nas tecnologias da modernidade e a preservação de sua autonomia. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Aprendizagem. Envelhecimento. Memória.
