Resumo (pt)

Este artigo apresenta uma revisão narrativa da literatura científica sobre o treinamento cognitivo computadorizado (TCC), apoiada por uma abordagem cienciométrica para mapear e contextualizar sistematicamente as tendências de pesquisa na área. Os registros foram recuperados das bases de dados Web of Science (WoS) e Scopus, resultando em 290 e 239 documentos, respectivamente. Após a fusão dos conjuntos de dados e a remoção de duplicatas, 328 publicações únicas, publicadas entre 2000 e fevereiro de 2023, foram mantidas para análise. Técnicas cientométricas foram aplicadas para descrever a evolução da produção científica, a dinâmica de citações, as contribuições por país, o impacto das revistas e as estruturas de colaboração entre autores e fontes, o que posteriormente informou a interpretação narrativa da área. Os resultados mostram um crescimento sustentado nas publicações relacionadas ao TCC desde 2011, com um aumento notável na atividade de citação entre 2011 e 2017. Os Estados Unidos lideram a produção científica e o impacto de citação, seguidos pela Austrália e pela Alemanha. A análise de periódicos indica que as pesquisas sobre TCC são publicadas principalmente em periódicos de alto impacto, classificados no Q1, incluindo Biological Psychiatry, Schizophrenia Bulletin e The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. De modo geral, a perspectiva combinada narrativa e cientométrica revela que o CCT constitui um domínio de pesquisa consolidado e em expansão, caracterizado por forte visibilidade científica, especialização temática e crescente colaboração internacional.

This article presents a narrative review of the scientific literature on computerized cognitive training (CCT), supported by a scientometric approach to systematically map and contextualize research trends in the field. Records were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, yielding 290 and 239 documents, respectively. After merging datasets and removing duplicates, 328 unique publications published between 2000, and February 2023 were retained for analysis. Scientometric techniques were applied to describe the evolution of scientific production, citation dynamics, country-level contributions, journal impact, and collaboration structures among authors and sources, which subsequently informed the narrative interpretation of the field. Results show a sustained growth in CCT-related publications since 2011, with a notable increase in citation activity between 2011 and 2017. The United States leads scientific production and citation impact, followed by Australia and Germany. Journal analysis indicates that CCT research is primarily published in high-impact, Q1-ranked journals, including Biological Psychiatry, Schizophrenia Bulletin, and The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. Overall, the combined narrative and scientometric perspective reveals that CCT constitutes a consolidated and expanding research domain, characterized by strong scientific visibility, thematic specialization, and increasing international collaboration.

Este artículo presenta una revisión narrativa de la literatura científica sobre el entrenamiento cognitivo computarizado (ECC), apoyada en un enfoque cienciométrico para mapear y contextualizar de manera sistemática las tendencias de investigación en el campo. Los registros se recuperaron de las bases de datos Web of Science (WoS) y Scopus, obteniéndose 290 y 239 documentos, respectivamente. Tras la integración de ambos conjuntos de datos y la eliminación de duplicados, se conservaron 328 publicaciones únicas, correspondientes al período comprendido entre los años 2000 y febrero de 2023. Las técnicas cienciométricas se emplearon para describir la evolución de la producción científica, la dinámica de citación, las contribuciones por país, el impacto de las revistas y las estructuras de colaboración entre autores y fuentes, lo que permitió sustentar la interpretación narrativa del campo. Los resultados evidencian un crecimiento sostenido de las publicaciones sobre ECC desde 2011, con un incremento notable de la actividad de citación entre 2011 y 2017. Estados Unidos lidera la producción científica y el impacto por citaciones, seguido por Australia y Alemania. El análisis de revistas muestra que la investigación en ECC se concentra principalmente en revistas de alto impacto clasificadas en Q1, entre ellas Biological Psychiatry, Schizophrenia Bulletin y The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry. En conjunto, la perspectiva narrativa y cienciométrica revela que el ECC constituye un campo de investigación consolidado y en expansión, con elevada visibilidad científica, especialización temática y creciente colaboración internacional.
