Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

141
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

218
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Learning Disabilities

262
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Summary

Serious games show promise for improving executive functions (EFs) in adults with intellectual disability (ID). While improvements were noted, further research is needed to enhance their effectiveness in cognitive and adaptive functioning.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Serious games are emerging tools in medical and psychological practice for rehabilitation.
  • Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) often experience challenges with executive functions (EFs), impacting adaptive functioning.
  • Previous research indicates serious games can positively influence cognitive, social, and communication skills in individuals with ID.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent solutions for executive function (EF) training in adults with intellectual disability (ID).
  • To evaluate existing EF training methods using key parameters.
  • To identify features and challenges for future system development.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing 573 articles published since 2015.
  • Ten studies focusing on EF training for adults with ID were selected for detailed examination.
  • Searches were performed across seven major academic databases (ACM, IEEE Xplore, DBLP, Google Scholar, PubMed, SCOPUS, PsycInfo).

Main Results:

  • Planning and decision-making were the most frequently targeted EFs, followed by working memory, social cognition, behavioral regulation, flexibility, and inhibition.
  • Analysis of technical and program execution approaches in support systems was performed.
  • Trends indicated improvements in EFs, although these were not statistically significant.

Conclusions:

  • Serious games offer a viable approach for EF training in adults with ID.
  • Key features and aspects for developing more effective EF training systems were identified.
  • Further development should consider the specific EFs and technical approaches highlighted in the review.
