Resumo

Se estudian las relaciones entre cambios cognitivos y capacidad narrativa en 80 sujetos sanos de entre 40 y 91 años, considerando su nivel académico, hábitos lectoescritores y de cálculo, y habilidad verbal. Los resultados muestran cambios significativos con la edad en cantidad, cohesión y cantidad y calidad del contenido de las narraciones. Las variables que mejor predicen esos cambios son las de velocidad de procesamiento, las de habilidad verbal y las de memoria operativa
