Abstract

Introduction: Role of executive functions in developing intellectual, personality, social skills and educational achievement is approved. On the other hand, executive dysfunctions including working memory problems and response disinhibiting may lead to impulsivity, inattention, behavioral problems, communication problems and social non-adjustment. So the present research aimed to determine and evaluate neurofeedback and Capitan log on response inhibition and storage of working memory. Method: This research was semi experimental study with control group and statistical population were all female elementary students in 4grade in Tehran in 2019-2020. Then 90 students were selected by multi stage clustering method and designated into three groups (2 experimental and 1 control) after screening by inclusion criteria. Daneman and Carpenter working memory scale (1980) and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) were used for measuring before and after and in following up test. Two experimental groups received 20 sessions of interventions and control group didn’t receive any intervention. Covariance analysis and spss21 were used for analysis of data. Findings: Neurofeedback and Capitan log interventions had significant effects on storage of working memory and response inhibition in students (p<0/05) but neurofeedback was more effective than Capitan log. Conclusion: These interventions can be used to improve working memory and response inhibition to increase educational achievement.
