“…Memory and attention are intertwined while performing a task [79][80][81][82]. Since longer attention spans are linked to higher levels of working memory, they are essential for the cognitive functioning of individuals with ADHD [83][84].…”

People are looking to the digital world for solutions to the challenges they face in their everyday lives, as technology continues to advance rapidly. People with impairments now have equal access to learning opportunities due to technological advancements. ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) has become more prevalent among children and teenagers from ethnic minorities in recent years. Due to challenges with cognitive and metacognitive functioning, this condition is associated with various learning and behavioral difficulties. People can only assimilate into the social environment once they have developed these functions. Children can learn alternative techniques to manage their cognitive deficiencies and adapt to various contexts by developing self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-control through internal attention. With the rapid advancement of research, numerous medical and psychological approaches have been developed for the treatment of ADHD, significantly assisting in the management of symptoms. The current study examines different therapeutic strategies aimed at improving the quality of life for children from racial and ethnic minorities who are affected by ADHD. These strategies include video games with virtual reality (VR) environments.

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of space, including distance, shape, size, and the relative position of figures. It is one of the oldest branches of mathematics and has applications in various fields such as science, art, architecture, and even in areas seemingly unrelated to mathematics. Studies show that working memory and spatial perception contribute to students' geometry performance. This paper presents multiple studies demonstrating the brain regions activated when solving geometric problems. Interestingly, the brain areas activated when solving algebraic problems are different from those activated when solving geometric problems. Finally, multiple studies are presented that indicate students with learning difficulties lag in geometry, as solving geometric problems requires good reading and arithmetic skills.

According to current data, a sizeable share of countries' populations are now multicultural. It is believed that culture significantly impacts the creation of therapeutic materials, practice models, methods for assessment, and client collaboration. Additionally, recent articles include the importance of understanding a child's needs in the context of the culture at significant, as well as the interaction between a client and a therapist. Despite significant advancements in developing and applying efficient services for children with ADHD, ethnic minority youths and teens still lag behind their non-minority peers in terms of evaluation and therapy rates. This study intends to highlight the skills that educators must acquire to successfully execute the idea of multicultural education and the effectiveness of using mobile 2D video games to identify and treat the symptoms of ADHD.
