Attention encompasses a series of brain subprocesses that allow an individual to focus his/her state of consciousness on a determined stimulus of internal and external reality. On the ohter hand, memory refers to the capacity to store and recall information. The aim of the research was to develop a smartphone application that allows stimulate memory and older adults.
