Digital game-based training programs have recently been used to train the cognitive abilities of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). However, the effects of training remain controversial. The present meta-analysis explored the effectiveness of digital game-based training in children with NDDs and examined the possible moderators of its effects. Twenty-nine studies with cognitive outcomes in 1535 children were included in the present meta-analysis. The results showed that digital game-based training could significantly enhance the core cognitive abilities of children with each type of NDDs and that training could be used remotely. Meanwhile, task content and game features of digital game-based interventions separately make unique and sig-nificant contributions to the training effects, suggesting that the combination of training content and game features could efficiently improve children's cognition. Although the present study revealed that the training benefits could be maintained over a period of time, more studies are needed to explore the retention effects of digital game-based training. The present study provides a comprehensive understanding of the training effects of digital game-based interventions and new insights for future cognitive training design and application.
