Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Inhibitory control, a key executive function, is crucial for managing behavior and attention.
  • Computerized interventions, particularly digital games, are increasingly explored for enhancing executive functions in educational settings.
  • Research in ecological approaches to executive function stimulation is a growing field.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map the existing research on stimulating inhibitory control in elementary school children using digital games.
  • To identify current trends and gaps in the literature regarding digital game-based interventions for executive functions.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic mapping study was conducted, combining automated database searches (SCOPUS, PubMed, IEEE, ACM, Springer, Scielo) with backward snowballing.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on studies published between 2014-2019 involving digital games or mobile applications for inhibitory control in elementary school children.
  • An initial search yielded 641 publications, with three selected for final analysis.

Main Results:

  • Only three studies met the selection criteria, indicating a nascent research landscape.
  • The selected studies focused on digital games or mobile applications for stimulating inhibitory control or related processes.
  • The interventions were implemented within school-based settings for elementary school children.

Conclusions:

  • Research on using digital games to stimulate inhibitory control in elementary school children is in its early stages.
  • This area represents an emerging field with significant potential for future investigation and development.
  • Further research is needed to establish the efficacy and best practices of digital game-based interventions for executive functions.
