ARTICLEEducational status influences cognitive-motor learning in older adults: going to university provides greater protection against aging than going to high school Impacto da escolaridade na aprendizagem de uma tarefa cognitivo-motora em idosos: cursar a faculdade fornece maior efeito protetor contra o envelhecimento do que cursar o ensino médio were subdivided into average (6-11years of education) and higher education (12-17 years). They received two training sessions (session 1: eight repetitions, session 2: four repetitions), with a one week-interval between them. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was performed before and after the training. Results: Volunteers with an average education showed longer times on the WEFT than those with a higher education. Older adults showed lower retention than middle-aged adults (p < 0.001). The TUG was faster after the WEFT training (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The impact of education was observed when locomotion was associated with cognitive tasks. Average education resulted in poorer performance and learning than higher education, mainly in older adults. Gait speed increased after training.Keywords: cognition; aging; evaluation; executive function; locomotion; visual perception. RESUMO

“…The Yaxis represents the measurements of static balance and dynamic balance ability. The color of each block represents the P value, where a red hue from a light to deep color indicates an increase in statistical significance [20,21], which might result in lessefficient postural control and balance ability. Our results suggest that those older people with a lower education level should pay more attention to maintaining and improving their balance functions.…”

“…Nitrini and colleagues examined the association of four categories of education (0, 1–3, 4–7, and ≥8) with performance on a non-verbal task in elderly without frank dementia ( N = 745), and found that poorer performance was associated with lower education (Nitrini et al 2005). However, different from our study, these investigators included individuals 65 years old and older and with only 4 nonagenarians (all illiterates).…”

To find associations of age, sex, and education with neuropsychological test performance in cognitively normal Spanish-speaking Costa Rican nonagenarians with little education; to provide norms; and to compare their performance with similar Puerto Ricans. For 95 Costa Ricans (90–102 years old, 0–6 years of education), multiple regression assessed associations with demographics of performance on six neuropsychological tests. Analyses of covariance compared them with 23 Puerto Ricans (90–99 years old). Younger age and being female—but not education—were associated with better performance on some neuropsychological tests, in particular episodic memory. The Puerto Ricans performed better on learning and memory tasks. In cognitively intact Spanish-speaking nonagenarians with little or no education, education did not affect test performance. Additional studies of the effect of education on cognitive performance are warranted in other samples with extremely low education or old age. National differences in performance highlight the importance of group-specific norms.
