Methods: The students of Ahwaz Payam Noor University at the academic year of 1396 are my statistical community of the present study that among them 100 people (70 girls & 30 boys) was selected voluntarily. In order to assess the memory variable, I used the questionnaire of investigated factoring analysis. The data assessment was analyzed by the use of Amos & SPSS software.
