This comprehensive review aimed to investigate the transferability of transcranial electrical Stimulation (tES) interventions in individuals with specific learning disabilities (SLD) based on the FIELD model, encompassing function, implements, ecology, level, and durability. A systematic search of electronic databases yielded a total of 13 eligible studies, 11 transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), 1 transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), and 1 transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), encompass 286 individuals with SLD, for inclusion. The overall effect size analysis revealed positive transfer effects in all domains of FIELD, indicating the potential effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulations (NIBS) interventions in enhancing various aspects of learning and behavior in individuals with SLD. The subgroup analysis further underscored the positive impact of age, dose, and concurrent intervention on transferability. In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights into the transferability of tES interventions and holds promise for improving learning and behavioral outcomes in individuals with SLD.
