Abstract

ABSTRACT Background: The society ages at a rapid pace proposing an important challenge to the group of professionals, since one of the biggest concerns over the years is the loss of cognitive functions such as memory. Based on this, it is relevant to know what strategies can help to preserve the mnemonic capacity of healthy elderly people. Objective: to analyze the moderator effect of the creativity construct in the daily memory, as well as the age effect in a sample of healthy elderly people. Methods: 106 healthy and voluntary elderly people from different cities of Spain participated. The CREA creative test and the RBMT daily memory test were applied. Results: Creativity moderates memory loss in older people, while for each unit of creativity analysis, memory increases. The opposite happens with age, as it increases, memory decreases. It has not been found that age and creativity have a joint interaction effect on memory, acting both separately. Implications: creativity can be increased in leisure programs and intervention in psychostimulation in aging, since promoting a context of activities that promote creativity can be very advantageous to prevent memory problems in healthy older adults. More studies are needed that deepen this relationship and the type of concrete creative activities that can be beneficial and effective.
