摘要：

Introduction: Studies show there is a significant decrease in cognitive functions such as attention, memory and executive functions throughout the normal aging process. Objective: To verify the effects of an attention, memory and executive functions training on the cognition of healthy elderly people. Methods: 76 healthy elderly subjects were divided into experimental (EG) and control groups (CG), both were composed by 38 participants each. The EG received 12 training sessions in attention, memory and executive functions. Results: In the post-test, the EG presented better performance in tasks of attention, working memory, language (inferences and spontaneous writing), constructional praxia, problems solving, and executive functions. Conclusion: The training revealed significant results for a 12-session intervention, indicating that healthy elderly individuals may improve their cognitive functions.
