The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of transformational therapy on the conflict between superior visual learning style and brain information processing style in cognitive dyslexia students. Method:The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. After obtaining ethics from male and female students in the first, second and third grades of primary schools and clients to the public and privet special education centers in the academic year of1397-98,through purposeful sampling,102 people who had the Criterion of the research, were selected and randomly assigned to two groups of51people (experimental and control).Therapeutic sessions were performed twice a week for 2 months in16sessions of45 minutes that used the Eishner model and Walk learning style in the experimental group. Instruments:WISC4, Superior Side Brain Assessment Checklist, VARK Model Learning Styles Selection, Chapman and Edinberg Superiority Assessment Questionnaire, Delacato Brain Neurodevelopment Scale, and Content Analysis of First Elementary Persian Book with Visual Index (the basis of textbook content is based on three styles of visual, auditory and motor) was used. Data analysis was by analysis of covariance and GEE (generalized equation estimation) and T-couple. Results:There was a significant difference (p<0.05)between the pre-test scores of the experimental and control and follow-up groups compared to the post-test.Two-month follow-up of the results showed the stability of the results. Conclusion: Cognitive therapy is an effective intervention method that has a positive effect on the conflict between superior visual learning style and brain information processing style of students with cognitive dyslexia.

Aim:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical complaints and depression symptoms in right and left handed individuals. Method: In this causal study, 120 female students with an average age of 25 years and 5 months were selected, of which 60 were right hands and 60 left handed. Left-handed people were available in the right hands, and right-handed men were selected randomly from the classes that were selected by the left-handed. Right and left-handed students were divided into two groups: depressed and unconfirmed. Beck Depression Inventory, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Edinburgh Hand Overweight Questionnaire, and researcher-made physical complaints assessment were used to collect information. For data analysis, binomial logistic regression was used. Findings: Findings showed that the score of physical signs of right-handed and left-handed hands is significantly related to physical complaints from the left side of the body. Also, this study showed that there is no significant difference between the depression score and the physical signs of right-handed and left-handed individuals. Conclusion: Regarding the high prevalence of physical complaints in the left side of the body, in depressed right and left handed students, the presence of these complaints on the left side of the body was considered as a symptom of depression.

Introduction: The main objective of this research is investigating the impact of customers’ favorite product selection in terms of the shape and color on the alpha wave. To conduct the study, four sets of images with different shapes (round and sharp) and colors (hot and cool) were designed for the cracker and pasta. Applying QEEG, participants’ alpha band electric waves were recorded after presenting the four set of images. Then, the subjects were asked to choose their preferred image collection. Using multivariate variance, the relationship between alpha-band electrical waves with preferential images was analyzed. Method: The research method was Experimental using several groups of subjects and the primary sample consisted of 375 persons who were randomly selected from Qom Payam-e-Noor University students. Then, 72 people were assigned to the final sample based on age, gender and handedness, so the mean age, gender proportion and the population handedness were observed in the final sample. Findings: The results showed that alpha oscillations by observation had significant relationship by considering conscious selected priorities in the electrodes of O1, T5, T3, C3, and C4. Data analysis showed that in general, the subjects who preferred the warm pictures generated more alpha waves when seeing white, hot and cool (both round and sharp) images in the mentioned electrodes. Conclusion: Consequently, it might be concluded that simply the presented images did not play a significant role in their selection, and in general, the warm images generated more alpha waves than the cool images.

Introduction: This survey was done in order to consider the impact of transcranial direct current stimulation on the visual/spatial working memory in the area of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Methods: This survey plan was experimental in the kind of pretest/after test together placebo group and arbitrary selection. The study sample contains 20 boy students with dyslexia with 8 to 10 years old that have inclusion criteria in this study. Two kinds of anode and sham stimulation, with 1.5 mA circuitry for 20 minutes and 15 minutes phonological awareness training on 20 participants in 10 sessions were presented. The participants before and after stimulation with N- Beck task, Shirazi and Nilipour reading test were tested. Findings: The covariance results showed that anode stimulation has a significant impact on improving performance in the visual/spatial aspect of the working memory compared to the sham stimulation. Conclusion: Overall, this study showed that the anode stimulation increased and improved individual performance on tasks involving visual working memory and has led to improved dyslexia in children.

Introduction: According to the studies, biological and endogenous factors can affect cognitive processes. The aim of the present research was to study the relationship between decision-making styles with the brain behavioral inhibition and activation systems and handedness. Method: The present study was descriptive correlational research with regression analysis. The participants included 269 university students selected from Bonab and Tabriz Payame Noor Universities via multistage random sampling. They completed the decision-making styles questionnaire of Scott and Bruce (1995), the brain behavioral inhibition and activation systems (BIS/BAS) questionnaire of Carver and White (1994), and Edinburgh’s handedness questionnaire. Data were analyzed by Pearson’s product-moment correlation, standard multiple regression analysis, and moderated regression analysis. Findings: The results indicated that there is a relationship between handedness with brain behavioral inhibition and activation systems, and avoidant decision-making style. There was a significant relationship between behavioral inhibition system with all types of decision-making styles, and between behavioral activation system with all three types of avoidant, rational, and intuitive decision-making style except dependent style; and both brain behavioral systems were able to predict the decision making styles. Besides, moderated regression analysis verified the moderating effect of handedness in mediating the relation between behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and avoidant decision-making style. Conclusion: Overall, the results of the study confirm that cognitive processes, like decision-making, are directly or indirectly influenced by endogenous and biological factors such as brain behavioral systems and hemisphere superiority.
