RESUMO:

Video games have become very popular in recent decades, bringing with them great social and economic impact. People from all social segments, regardless of gender or age, make use of them. This popularization also brought interest to know what are the influences they bring to their users. Several studies have found evidence that video games can have a positive impact on aspects of cognition, such as attention, working memory, and executive functions. However, the methods used to conduct them are still heterogeneous, which can generate a variation of the results. This study aimed to conduct a systematic literature review using the PRISMA method on the SciELO, LILACS, PsycINFO and PUBMED platforms to investigate the main methods and designs in the studies using cognitive-focused video games in the age group of 6 to 12 years old. . From the inclusion / exclusion criteria, 21 articles were selected and analyzed according to the methods / designs used, being categorized in the variables as: target audience and experimental groups, instruments, pre and post-test design, types of video games ( gender, duration, rewards, etc.), psychophysiological resources, generalization / transfer effects, and follow-up studies, among others. The results of the present study provide a systematic overview of the most commonly used methods, as well as assisting future research in the correct design using video games as a neuropsychological assessment or intervention tool. The result of the present study was intended to provide an overview of the use of this tool in neuropsychology. This compilation may help to guide possible interventions on the most deficient cognitive domains and the best use of potentialities in a more playful and enjoyable way.
