SUMMARY:

Memory is one of the cognitive skills that can be affected by aging. Throughout the development, there may occur alterations in the reduction of information processing speed, affecting the cognitive development, in special the memory. The present study has the goal to understand the different meanings assigned to memory by elderly people. For such, it was chosen for the theoretical support of the Network of Meanings (RedSig). The research was executed in the Buenos Aires city, Pernambuco, and it had the participation of 8 elderly, from both sex and ages between 67 and 101 years. The local for data collecting was agreed with each participant, taking into consideration its availability and the security measures. The instruments utilized were a sociodemographic survey and a semistructured interview. The data was analyzed through the Content Thematic Analysis that aroused 6 thematic categories around the focus in memory. It was observed that the meanings presented are circumscribed by questions in subjective order and that the importance of the memory emerges tied up to its function while cognitive capacity. However, it is highlighted that it can ensure the maintenance and establishment of social relations. Starting from a singular construction, the memory is crossed by group processes, social and different contexts, and it assumes a social recognition role. The use of new digital technologies appears harmful when they take over processes considered as functions of the memory. One question that stands out are the complaints about memories and the way in which the elderly people organize themselves, establishing strategies and assigning meanings. Although they are individual expressions, the constructions of meanings about memory are crossed by questions from human development, through experiences and sharing histories. In other words, by social and cultural elements and by contexts in which they are immersed
