Abstract

The use of serious games and entertainment games was compared as adjuvant tools for intervention in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A comprehensive search was performed in the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. From 295 studies, 53 studies were selected and included in this review. Overall, studies showed improvement after intervention, regardless of the type of video games, mostly for social skills and behavior. However, these changes should be regarded with caution, as they are limited to the tests applied. Furthermore, neither the entertainment nor the serious approach had a therapeutic impact on emotional resilience, representing the current gap in the field. Thus, even considering the limitations, our study is important because it shows that both categories have strengths.

自闭症谱系障碍的严肃游戏和娱乐游戏干预:系统回顾。

使用严肃游戏和娱乐游戏作为辅助工具干预自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的比较。在MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus和Web of Science数据库中进行了全面的搜索。从295项研究中，选择53项研究纳入本综述。总的来说，研究显示干预后的改善，无论电子游戏的类型如何，主要是在社交技能和行为方面。但是，应该谨慎看待这些变化，因为它们仅限于所应用的测试。此外，娱乐和严肃的方法都没有对情绪弹性产生治疗性影响，这代表了该领域目前的差距。因此，即使考虑到局限性，我们的研究也很重要，因为它表明这两个类别都有各自的优势。

期刊介绍： Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life. Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
