Abstract

Contemporary society has brought important changes to people in the way they think, relate in the world and especially in the incessant search for improvement in quality of life. The aging process is hard discussed and many scholars look to people to reach an older age in better conditions, both physically and mentally. In this context, this project intends to carry out a literature review study on the prevention of cognitive decline and the importance of Neuropsychopedagogy that, with specific tools, can help the healthy aging process, minimizing the impacts inherent to the arrival of age. The methodology involved bibliographical, descriptive and documentary research, based on Gil, Godoy, Prodanov and Freitas. The results show that there have been few studies published in 2018/2019, in Psychology journals, regarding actions that seek the best quality of life and that act to prevent cognitive decline in the aging process.
