The aim of the present study was to examine the “effectiveness of Captain's Log Cognitive Rehabilitation Program on Visual Working Memory, Attention Skills, Processing Speed and Fluid Reasoning of Students ages 8-12 years in Isfahan”. The research method was a randomized controlled trial design with pretest-posttest, follow-up, and control group. The research population consisted of 8-12-year-old students in the 2019-2020 academic years. 30 students were selected by the available sampling method, were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (n=15). For collecting data, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Ed. (2014) (WISC-V) was used. Fifteen 30- minute sessions were performed individually on experimental group members while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS23 and repeated measures analysis of variance. Findings indicated a significant difference among posttest scores of the two groups (p < 0.05). Results also remained constant after one- month follow-up stage. According to the results, it can be concluded that the Captain’s Log program might be an effective intervention to improve visual working memory, attention skills, processing speed, and fluid reasoning.
