Abstract

Effectiveness of Brain Cognitive Rehabilitation on Information Processing Speed (IPS) and psychological refractory period (PRP) in Children with Specific Learning Disorders. Method: This study is a semi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test design with control group. 24 children with specific learning disorder in Ahwaz city participated in this study. Participants were randomly divided into experimental and control groups after the pre-test phase (recording scores of IPS and PRP). The experimental group underwent brain cognitive training for 8 sessions in 4 weeks. After the intervention sessions, were performed the IPS and PRP test. Data analysis was performed using a covariance analysis test, at a significant level of p Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the IPS (p = 0.010) and PRP (p = 0.001) and the experimental group performs better than the control group. Conclusion: Overall, it can be concluded that the intervention of eight sessions of brain cognitive rehabilitation approach has a positive effect on IPS and PRP in children with specific learning disorder.
