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.

Aim: The present study aims to study the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation(brain gym) on the speed processing and the neural response speed to stimulus in children with developmental coordination disorder. Method: The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control. The statistical population included all children with motor coordination disorder who referred to rehabilitation clinics in Tehran in 2019-2020. Out of the total population, 22 people were selected as available samples from the clients of Sadr Rehabilitation Center in Tehran and were randomly replaced in two experimental groups(11 people) and control(11 people). The 2018 version cognitive rehabilitation intervention program was used to collect data from a computer-controlled processing speed test and a cognitive response rate. One-way analysis of covariance was performed to analyze the data using the default assumptions. The Cognitive Rehabilitation Program of the Brain Club was conducted for 10 consecutive sessions for two months for the experimental group. Results: The results showed that the cognitive rehabilitation program significantly improved the processing speed and neural response speed to stimulus of children with developmental coordination disorder. Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of the cognitive rehabilitation program, the use of this The program is recommended in rehabilitation training centers.

Aim: The present study has been performed to evaluate the gifted underachievement phenomenon on mathematics and compare neuropsychological skills profile of these students in groups with different levels of achievement. Methods: This study used a causal-comparative design. The study population includes all students of exceptional talents middle schools, in the academic year 2018/19. For this purpose, 36 male and female students were selected by the convenience sampling method and were studied based on their neuropsychological skills.To collect the data, the online version of Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Corsi block-tapping test and Deary-Liewald reaction time task were used. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. Findings: The results indicated there was a significant difference between neuropsychological skills in two groups in visual-spatial working memory, choice reaction time task and executive functions. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that underachiever gifted students experience more neuropsychological skills insufficiency than those gifted students with expected achievement. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to personality and environmental factors, evaluation of neuropsychological skills and application of appropriate neuropsychological interventions to prevent of the occurrence of gifted underachievement is recommended.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cerebellar direct electrical stimulation on the speed of processing in the attention of people with hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder in Tehran. Method:. This quasi-experimental research was carried out in a pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all individuals with hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder between the ages of 15 and 18 years in Tehran in 1396, of which 30 were selected as sample size. From the statistical population, 30 subjects in the experimental group and 30 controls were selected by random sampling and randomly selected. For the experimental group, direct brain electric stimulation was performed. Data collection tools consisted of the Vendriota questionnaire and the computer-aided computer visual and audio performance (IVA). To analyze the data, one-variable covariance test was used. Results: The results of the post-intervention research showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the variable of attention processing speed (visual and auditory). Conclusion: Therefore, it can be said that direct brain electric stimulation is effective in improving the speed of attention processing in people with hyperactivity and attention deficit.
