Treino computadorizado e não computadorizado de funções executivas para crianças e adolescentes com TDAH: revisão de escopo.

This study aimed to identify which components of executive functions are most commonly stimulated in children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and to verify the presence of computerized and non-computerized cognitive training described in the neuropsychological literature. A scoping review was performed using the relevant psychology and computer science databases: ACM, IEEE, ERIC, PsycINFO and Medline. Sixty studies were included. There was a predominance of studies that used computerized cognitive training and also a predominance in stimulating working memory and inhibitory control. Interventions in the computerized modality were largely associated with improved cognitive performance. Furthermore, interventions that enabled human interaction were commonly reported to be effective in improving ADHD symptoms. None of the studies analyzed were carried out in Latin America. The need for Latin American countries to invest in interventions to stimulate executive functions through technological resources adapted for native children in these countries is highlighted.
