Abstract: Computer courses for elderly people can provide a satisfactory performance of their cognitive skills, postponing the problems resulting from neurocognitive disorders that arise at this stage of life. The aim of the present study was to systematically review evidence of the elderly person's cognitive aspects related to the Informatics course. The systematic review of the literature followed the principles of the PRISMA statement. The databases used in this review were: VHL, ERIC, Scielo, Science Direct, PsynINFO, Web of Science and Scopus, with the following keywords: elderly, technology, cognition, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Observation articles related to the cognition of people aged 60 or over and the computer course published between January 2009 and December 2019 were selected. The quality of the articles was verified by two independent reviewers through the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology - STROBE. Only nine studies filled in the inclusion criteria, addressing cognition related to the computer course. Considering the review of the studies, it was not possible to state that digital inclusion, based on the various available technologies, causes positive effects on the cognition of the elderly. The number of studies found using the inclusion / exclusion criteria resulting from this review, found in the researched databases, was small considering the importance of the subject. Keywords: Systematic review. Seniors. Computer course.
