Over the past decade, executive functions have been associated with positive outcomes in children, highlighting the importance of having suitable measures available for this age group. Now, research is increasingly looking do develop computerised measures using game-based formats to address the limitations of established measures currently used. This study aimed to trial Davis’ (2020) newly developed game-based measure of executive function, Dragon Adventure, in populations that have previously been neglected in the literature: neurotypical children aged 6 to 8 years and children with a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Condition aged 6 to 11 years.
