RESUMO:

Cognitive performance may decrease as a result of aging, affecting, for example, executive functions. In daily life, damage to executive functions results in difficulties in performing ordinary activities such as driving a car, financial management, and in the fulfillment of obligations, leading to a reduction in social relationships, depression, and ultimately isolation. It is true that cognitive decline is not just a result of longevity, so other factors such as hearing loss, depression, hypertension, educational level, genetic heritage, and eating habits are also among the elements that contribute to poor cognitive performance. Regardless of the cause of cognitive involvement, there is growing interest in seeking strategies for maintaining and improving cognitive functions so that quality of life can be preserved during the old age. The present study aims to develop a cognition in the elderly people using Computational Thinking through unplugged activities. To achieve this goal, a bibliographic survey, systematic reviews and the elaboration of a solution proposal based on cognitive interventions were performed. The results will be obtained through a quanti-qualitative approach in which the statistical data of two groups of elderly people will be compared after the interventions. One group will go through six stimulus sessions coming from Psychology and the other will also get six interventions, but based on Computational Thinking..
