Aim: Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder is a disorder with cognitive impairment that standardized tests such as Wechsler use to diagnose these defects. Recently, neural network research has received special attention in psychological research. The aim of this study was to rank Wechsler's effective fourth and integrated subscales in predicting this disorder by neural network method. Method: The research sample was the students who referred to Shahriar Counseling Centers and were selected by the sampling method and 162 people were selected by clinical interview based on DSM5 criteria in the academic year of 1996-97. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity, Hyperactivity, and Combination Scores were determined by teachers by completing the Swanson and Neupleham questionnaire, and finally the Wechsler Intelligence Test was performed in the fourth version. The data were analyzed by neural network and MATLAB software. 40 subscales were identified as network inputs with 40, an intermediate layer with 42 neurons, and an output layer as the best network pattern. Finding: In the combined type of subscales 1-complete the picture, 2-Capacity of letter-to-song, 3-Similarities, 4- Options of visual vocabulary, 5-Accidental deletion, In the type of hyperactivity 1- complete the picture, 2-Deletion Random, 3- Direct spatial capacity, 4- Cube design process and 5- Similarities, in the type of failure, attention 1-picture concepts 2-Similarities 3- Symbolism, 4- Number-letter sequence 5- Calculations of the most effective subscales Were(P <0.05). Results: The results showed that neural networking is a method capable of predicting attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder, and some of Wechsler's subscales are superior to others in identifying cognitive impairments.

Aims: The aim of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of two therapeutic methods of reality therapy and neurofeedback to improve the quality of life of breast cancer women. Methods: In a semi-experimental design, a number of 45 breast cancer patients were selected by the available sampling methods in 2018 in Amol city and randomly divided into three equal groups. Inform consent provided and inclusion/exclusion criteria were controlled for. The QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23 instruments in three stages of pretest, posttest and two months follow-up completed by all subjects. The first and second groups respectively were received the reality therapy and neurofeedback separately, while no intervention administered on the third group. Research data were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of covariance. Findings: Significant differences were found between the experimental groups and the waiting list group for the quality of life variables(p

Introduction: The aim of present study was investigating effect of rTMS on improvement working memory and symptom of bipolar disorder in subjects. Method: To do so, 30bipolar disorder were selected among Tehran clinics’ clients using Purposeful sampling. For assessing working memory, N-back test was conducted by all subject For assessing bipolar symptoms, Beck Depression Inventory and Young Mania Inventory was conducted by all subjects. Subjects were divided into two groups; 15 subjects received rTMS and rest of them that is called control group didn’t receive it. Training sessions were conducted for 20 days; each day one session -20 minutes. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings: The results showed that effect of rTMS on working memory performance and bipolar symptoms improvemen thas been effective. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that rTMS can improve working memory performance and improve symptomsin subjects with bipolar disorder.
