摘要：Computerized cognitive training (CCT) paradigms for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are designed to overcome specific deficits and reduce symptoms of the disorder. Such training is increasingly being researched, but it is not entirely clear how it affects generalised functional deficits, such as attention deficit, impulsivity, lack of behavioural inhibition, planning, and organisation. Executive functions deficits, which include working memory deficits, make up a large part of ADHD and may be the basis for other symptoms of the disorder, such as attention impairment, lack of motivation, hyperactivity, and conduct problems. Therefore, many studies on training executive functions and working memory assume that improving these functions can reduce ADHD symptoms. The purpose of this paper is to review and critically evaluate research in the area of CCT for children with ADHD and determine whether CCT has shown promising results in overcoming ADHD-related deficits in previous studies and what type of CCT is most promising. The articles included in this systematic review were found through databases in EBSCOhost, Science Direct, and Web of Science. Studies showed that CCT has the potential to improve cognitive functions in children with ADHD. Some studies also showed a reduction in dysfunctional and impulsive behaviours. However, the studies are not congruent regarding the CCT effects on these symptoms and they also differ in the type of CCT used.
