Abstract

The elderly are individuals who usually present several disabilities at the same time, whether visual, hearing or even locomotor impairment. Unlike other studies that seek studies for people with specific disabilities, we seek studies of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) applied to the elderly, not only because a single individual may present several deficiencies to varying degrees, but also because it is a natural process the population aging of a country, the gradual increase of the elderly, resulting in social limitations and usability of interface and devices. We used an HCI study applied to the elderly with a mixed qualitative convergence review of 16 articles to identify the most used learning theory. After the analysis, following the criteria of the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), the theory of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) was identified, the most used problem-based learning theory in hcI studies when referring to the elderly. Thus, it is possible to use more safely based learning based on problems with applicability in the elderly, where an excellent acceptability and success in the results was identified.
