Objective:
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the second-generation virtual reality intervention (SG-VRI) on the hot and cold executive functions (EFs) of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods:
Seventy children were included in the study and randomly divided into control (n = 35) and intervention (n = 35) groups. Stroop TBAG Form, Trail Making Test, and Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory were administered to the participants before SG-VRI. SG-VRI was applied to the intervention group as two sessions per week for 8 weeks. During this period, the control group did not receive any intervention.
Results:
At the end of these 8 weeks, assessment tests were administered to both groups again. The final results showed that the SG-VRI was effective in improving hot and cold EF skills of children with ADHD (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
We believe that the use of virtual reality interventions may be effective in the cognitive rehabilitation processes of children with ADHD.
