The objective was to analyze the effects of different cognitive interventions in two groups of elderly women, besides identifying the personality traits and their relations with cognition. Participants were 14 elderly women with a mean age of 64.79 (SD = ± 3.57), with a high school or higher education. These elderly women belonged to a group of cognitive and physical interventions and were evaluated in two moments (pre-intervention and post-intervention), individually through an anamnesis, cognitive measures (Addenbrooke cognitive examination - revised version) and of personality (Factorial Battery of Personality). After the first evaluation, the participants were divided into groups of stimulation and cognitive training, and later, for the analysis of the results, it was decided to regroup the participants into two categories, being those that maintained/ improved or worsened in the results. The results indicated that low personality traits of instability, extraversion and social interactions were significant with participants who maintained or improved at the time of intervention. It was identified the possibility of including individual differences in the construction and conduct of practices involving cognitive interventions, aiming at a greater effectiveness of the techniques used in the health area.Downloads
