ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Some cognitive dimensions, such as attention, memory and executive functions, may decline with age, while other functions remain intact or even improve due to greater life experience.

Objective:

to analyze the relationship between cognitive processing, language and verbal fluency among elderly individuals seen by primary healthcare services located in a city in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil.

Methods:

a cross-sectional study with a quantitative method was conducted. A total of 149 elderly individuals were assessed through previously scheduled interviews. Data collection included a questionnaire on sociodemographic data and the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination - Revised (ACE-R). Cognitive processing (P300) was assessed using a device that captures potentials elicited in auditory tasks. Descriptive analysis and Spearman's correlation were performed with the level of significance established at 5%.

Results:

a negative correlation was found between language and P300 latency, while a positive correlation was found between verbal fluency and P300 amplitude. Comprehension and naming tasks showed a negative correlation with latency. The repetition task revealed a positive correlation with P300 amplitude.

Conclusion:

although more extensive testing is needed, these findings suggest that language correlates with P300 latency, whereas verbal fluency correlates with P300 amplitude.
RESUMO
RESUMO As dimensões cognitivas, como atenção, memória e funções executivas, podem diminuir com a idade, enquanto outras funções permanecem ou até melhoram devido a uma maior experiência de vida.

Objetivo:

analisar a relação entre processamento cognitivo, linguagem e fluência verbal em idosos atendidos em serviços de atenção básica localizados em um município do interior de São Paulo, Brasil.

Métodos:

estudo transversal, método quantitativo. Um total de 149 idosos foram avaliados por meio de entrevistas previamente agendadas. A coleta de dados incluiu um questionário abordando dados sociodemográficos e o Exame Cognitivo de Addenbrooke - Revisado (ACE-R). O processamento cognitivo (P300) foi avaliado por meio de um dispositivo que capta potenciais elicitados em tarefas auditivas. A análise descritiva e a correlação de Spearman foram realizadas com o nível de significância estabelecido em 5%./

Resultados:

foi encontrada correlação negativa entre a linguagem e a latência do P300 e uma correlação positiva entre a fluência verbal e a amplitude do P300. Tarefas de compreensão e nomeação apresentaram uma correlação negativa com a latência. A tarefa de repetição revelou correlação positiva com a amplitude do P300.

Conclusão:

embora testes mais extensos sejam necessários, esses achados sugerem que a correlação de linguagem com a latência e fluência do P300 está correlacionada com a amplitude do P300.
