A scoping review maps interventions using AR, VR, and MR technologies to enhance executive functions in children with ADHD, indicating potential benefits.
Key Points
The aim is to map the research landscape for using AR, VR, and MR technologies to support executive functions in children with ADHD and assess their impact on quality of life.
Conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
Performed a systematic search in Scopus and Web of Science.
Included empirical studies published in English focusing on children with ADHD under 13 years.
Recorded study features including design, objectives, technology used, and results.
Identified twenty studies focusing on sustained attention, working memory, and inhibition.
Assessment interventions primarily used head-mounted displays and Continuous Performance Test (CPT).
Training involved immersive VR, serious video games, and motor or dual-task training.
Findings suggest VR enhances cognitive performance and sustained attention, though more longitudinal studies are needed.
