The use of game-based tools for rehabilitation is rapidly expanding. Cognitive rehabilitation via video games is an emerging hot topic in cognitive science. Serious games serve a specific purpose in addition to entertainment. They can be more engaging than exercises since they replace reward and motivation systems with real-world motivations as a complement for rehabilitation activities. This study was aimed at identifying and categorizing serious computer games used for attention rehabilitation and evaluating their effects. Six electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, ISI, Embase, IEEE, and Cochrane) were searched in August 2021. The search strategy consisted of three main concepts of \u201cserious game\u201d, \u201ccognitive deficits\u201d, and \u201ccognitive rehabilitation\u201d. The inclusion criteria were (1) journal articles, (2) English language, (3) being published in the last 10 years, (4) human participants, and (5) game-based intervention. In the 30 included studies, 22 unique games were utilized for attention rehabilitation. Lumosity (20%), Brain Age (Dr. Kawashima\u2019s Brain Training) (10%), and MoHRS (6.66%) were the most common games among the studies. There were (57%) casual, (23%) action, (10%) simulation, and (10%) multiple genres. Of the 47 tools used in the studies, 5 utilized cross-modal oddball attention tasks, 4 utilized game performance, 3 utilized the paced auditory serial additional test (PASAT), and the rest employed other tools. A total of 73 outcome measures were related to attention, 42 measures did not have significant results, 30 were significantly improved, 1 was significantly deteriorated, and 4 articles did not have any specific measures for attention evaluation. Thus, the results revealed the positive effect of serious games on attention. However, issues such as absence of scientific teams, the variety of the disorders that cause defects, the variety of criteria, differences in measurements, lack of long-term follow-up, insufficient RCT studies, and small sample sizes should be considered when designing, developing, and using game-based systems to prevent bias.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/2017975","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,26]],"date-time":"2022-02-26T22:20:10Z","timestamp":1645914010000},"page":"1-32","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["A Systematic Review on Serious Games in Attention Rehabilitation and Their Effects"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2269-9022","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Leila","family":"Shahmoradi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Management, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran 1417744361, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8305-5992","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Mohammadian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Roozbeh Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran 13337159140, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4087-2797","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Meysam","family":"Rahmani Katigari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Management, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran 1417744361, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","volume-title":"Cognitive Psychology: Nelson Education","author":"R.
