Abstract: During the execution of this work, several analysis and considerations were reviewed associated to the use of videogames and their effects on certain cognitive functions in the elderly. Scientific evidence supporting the use of videogames as a learning tool and for improving cognitive functions in younger people may have increased but additional research is required in this regard for elder people during the process of normal and pathological aging. Scientific investigations support the use of videogames as a learning intervention tool and for improving cognitive functions and processes in the elderly.
