Introduction: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common neuropsychological disorders in childhood. This disorder exposes affected children to many problems in the area of executive functions, including impaired perception of time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation based on working memory on time perception of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Method: the present study was quasi-experimental with pre-test / post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all children referred to the counseling center of science and arts university who had the characteristics of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, 30 children were selected by available sampling and randomly divided into two groups of experimental and control Were located. The computer-time perception test was performed as a pre-test on all individuals the experimental group underwent cognitive rehabilitation based on working memory for 10 sessions once a week for 45 minutes per session, and the control group remained on the waiting list. The test was performed after the therapy sessions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (analysis of Ancova). Results: The results of analysis of covariance showed that after eliminating the effect of pre-test between post-test scores in the experimental and control groups in variables There is a significant difference in time estimation, time reproduction and time production (p<0.001). Conclusion:Therefore, cognitive rehabilitation based on working memory improves the perception of time and its related subscales, ie time production, reproduction and time estimation in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. According to the results of the present study, the use of this treatment method is recommended to experts in this field.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the Effectiveness of rehabilitation, using Dohsa-Hou, on auditory memory and problem solving in children with learning disorder and auditory discrimination problem in Esfahan. Method: The research method was semi-experimental and study conducted in the form of a pretest-post-test with control group design. The target community of all children with learning disorder in Esfahan which has some forms of auditory discrimination problem. One of the centers of learning disabilities in Isfahan province was referred to the Center for New Immune Disorders, and then among those who had entry criteria, 30 individuals were selected through available sampling method and then randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control. After doing the pretest in the two groups, the experimental group received 10 therapy sessions Dohsa-Hou rehabilitation, each lasting 60 minutes. Both groups were then subjected to post-test and follow-up. Data were collected using Hepner problem solving questionnaires(1982) and active memory of Dainiman and Carpenter(1980). Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. Result: after rehabilitation sessions, the mean in problem solving and memory in experimental group significantly increase compared to their previous levels(p<0/001). In control group no significant difference was found. Conclusion: rehabilitation, using Dohsa-Hou was effective in improving acoustic memory and problem solving in children with learning disorder and auditory discrimination problem.

Introduction:In children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, defects in executive functions are also recognized.The aim of this study was to measure the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation on improvement of executive function of response inhibition in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methode: The present study was semi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with control group. In this study, children aged 7 to 12 years who were diagnosed with (ADHD) by psychological experts of the counseling center of Kermanshah were selected. 20 of these children (10 girls and 10 boys) were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to 12 sessions of The Captain's Log Mind Power Builder and the control group did not receive treatment. After the last session of treatment, both groups were re-evaluated. Data were analyzed by covariance analysis using SPSS_23 software. Findings: The findings showed that cognitive rehabilitation was effective on improvement of executive function of response inhibition in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Conclusion: Therefore, we recommend a cognitive rehabilitation program for improving the executive function of response inhibition of children with ADHD.
