Main Article Content
Aging involves a series of cognitive manifestations that affect activities of daily living. This study was aimed to establish the relationship between schooling, verbal fluency, memory and visuospatial working memory in aging. 46 subjects with primary school, 41 middle school and 33 high school, The test results indicated a strong association between schooling and for this purpose: 120 subjects, 55 to 89 years old, divided into 3 groups were evaluated performance on tasks of phonological verbal fluency, noting that with decreasing schooling decreases performance in phonological verbal fluency tasks in older adults. In relation to the age of the elderly, a decrease was found in the performance of all tests as age increases. The findings in this investigation provided evidence that schooling is a protective factor of cognitive impairment and turn functionality in older adults, and also provides evidence of the need to consider the schooling when conducting cognitive assessments.
