Objective: To determine whether educational status affects the performance of older adults on digital cognitive tasks. Methods: A systematic review of articles in English, Portuguese, or Spanish published in the last 5 years was conducted. The databases searched were SCOPUS, PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo and PsychInfo.
