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.
