Abstract: This paper explores the intersection of gamification and educational practices, focusing on cognitive and neuropsychological dimensions. It comprehensively reviews theories and models relevant to cognitive and neuropsychological learning, highlighting gamification's potential to enhance engagement, motivation, and academic performance. The study evaluates empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of gamified interventions across mainstream, higher education, and vocational training contexts, emphasizing the importance of clear objectives, immediate feedback, and balanced challenges. The paper underscores the growing role of technology-driven advancements—such as mobile learning, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence—in personalizing learning experiences and reshaping teacher roles. Additionally, it addresses the implications of gamification in promoting mental health, emotional intelligence, and social justice within educational frameworks. The need for meticulous planning in the implementation of gamification strategies and further empirical research to validate their effectiveness is emphasized. Ultimately, this research aims to inform the development of serious games targeting cognitive and neuropsychological skills across diverse age groups and educational settings.
