Background: Several studies show that SARS-CoV-2 viruses, which cause acute respiratory distress syndrome and covid-19 disease, can cause changes in the central nervous system (CNS). Some people infected with SARS-CoV-2 may show symptoms of neuropsychological diseases long after the disease has recovered. Objective: This research was conducted to compare the improved neuropsychological functions of the diseased and healthy populations. Method: The statistical population of this research consists of those who have recovered from Covid-19, who were diagnosed and treated in the medical centers of Mashhad in the fall and winter of 2021, and at least 14 days had passed since they recovered. A sample consisting of 80 recovered patients from covid-19 and 80 healthy individuals were selected and screened with the Beck Depression Questionnaire(BDI-II). In each group, 65 people who scored less than 19 were selected by purposive sampling. N-Back, GO/NO GO, Wisconsin Card Sorting (WCST), and Color Stroop computer tests are used to collect data. The data were analyzed by the "Y-Man-Whitney" test. Results: The results showed that the neuropsychological function includes active, cognitive, and behavioral memory and is acceptable in patients with non-diseased treatments. It has long-term improved performance of patients, and it can be used to rehabilitate these patients.
