“…Trends of empirical data across world regions were observed, such as behavioral pre-and post intervention tests in Asia. Many optimistic indications for supporting students' attention with digital technology were presented in the included research outlining educational primary school classroom interventions, also relevant for special education practice as EF challenges are common characteristics in diagnosing disorders such as ADHD and ASD (Bishara & Kaplan, 2022;Strosnider & Sharpe, 2019).…”

“…The neurological EF term comprises self-regulation and inhibition of behavior and attention to meet learning goals, such as a focus between separate but related aspects of a given curricular activity (Bishara & Kaplan, 2022;Strosnider & Sharpe, 2019). As EF skills training activities benefits from multisensory approaches commonly emphasized in special education (Bishara & Kaplan, 2022;Keifer-Boyd & Knochel D, 2019), they might relate to inherent qualities of digital technology (Gunnars, 2021), and relate to different curriculum topics, seen in the included articles.…”

“…Such outcomes may affect students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) to a greater extent. For example, diagnostic criteria nowadays commonly employed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) directly relate to students' difficulties with attentiveness (Bishara & Kaplan, 2022;Meltzer, 2018;Strosnider & Sharpe, 2019). The indicated risks of adverse outcomes on students' skills are in several studies related to short attention span for educational activities and smartphone addiction dysphoria (Lindell & Hrastinski, 2018;Moebert et al, 2015;Palalas, 2018).…”

“…In medicinal and developmental cognitive brain research, a propensity for distraction has been attributed to neurological pathways related to Executive Function (EF) skills, a term encompassing self-regulation and inhibition of behavior to meet learning goals (Bishara & Kaplan, 2022). EF also relates to the students' shifting ability, which directs attention and focuses between separate but related aspects of a given task, which many students with SEN also have difficulties with (Bishara & Kaplan, 2022;Strosnider & Sharpe, 2019). While EF skills are, as Bernstein and Waber (2018) point out, domain-general and therefore hard to reliably parse, many batteries of standardized medicinal tests have been constructed to determine typically affected areas according to neuropsychological measures that often inform special education practitioners about their students' difficulties.…”

Digital technology in primary education can both be distracting and increase attentiveness. Many students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) have difficulties with skills that address attention, and teachers are expected to provide support. Such skills are referred to as Executive Function (EF) in neuroscience, relating to self-regulation, attention shifting, and inhibition of behavior. This systematic literature review outlines research on primary education during 2000–2022 that relates students’ EF and digital technology through empirical data and suggested SEN-inclusive educational interventions. 288 full-text journal articles were assessed, and 26 were included for analysis. Findings include common game-based solutions for EF and SEN support, enabling explicit goals, short teaching activities, and recorded outcomes. Other examples include EF skills training and classroom management with digital monitoring devices. A substantially increased research interest during 2021–2022 was observed. Aspects needing further research are discussed, such as more special education views with cost-effective behavioral approaches.
