Introduction: The aim of the present study is elementary estimation & to determine the characteristics of the psychometrics of the memory questionnaire. 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. The method of the present study is in the form of despriptive – exploratory. Finding: investigated factoring analysis showed that the questionnaire of the memory skilled analysis includes 12 articles & 2 factoring memory of future events(7 items) & the memory related to the past events (5 items). The reliability of the items was proved through cronbach Alpha & was quit. Satisfactory, & the validity of the items was proved through the skilled analysis. Conclusion: With due attention to the passing of the time, a lot of the memory questionnaires will lose their accurate efficiency, so, with the use of the present study, we can assess the memory subject, whitch is grounded on the new researches & we can use it in the different situations.

Introduction: The prevalence of Parkinson's disease in recent years, especially among elderly people, has increased. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of 8 weeks of core stability training on intrinsic motivation in Parkinson's disease. Methods: This was an experimental and field research with pre- post-test method and control group. 20 patients with aged between 55 to 75 years were selected through purposive sampling with mild to moderate disease and were randomly divided to two experimental and control groups. Hohen & Yahr (H&Y) index for assessing the severity and stage of disease were used. The experimental group participated in 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week of core stability training. Before and after the training, the pre- and post-test of intrinsic motivation questionnaire (McAuley et all, 1989) was used to assess. The mixed ANOVA test with repetitive measures in last factor was used. Findings: The findings related to intrinsic motivation (and subscales) index in Parkinson's disease showed that statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in favor of experimental group, such a way that the experimental group had more motivation score than the control group. Conclusion: Probably in this study, increased mobility experiences and also improve strength leading to increased intrinsic motivation (interest and enjoyment, perceived competence, effort).

Introduction: Cognitive Neurosciences and reading have close relationship with each other. Neuropsychological skills are prerequisite for reading. Looking at the dyslexia neurological challenges and benefits of and neuropsychological and cognitive function of play was the general objective of the study that examined the effectiveness of educational package of cognitive plays on neuropsychological skills of dyslexic students. Methods: The study design was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test and follow-up period (two months after the implementation of the post-test) in which 30 dyslexia male students were selected as sample of study using non-random sampling, and they were assigned randomly into experimental and control groups. Experimental group was educated using researcher-made tool in 1.5-hour sessions over three months.For data collection, the fourth edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children, dyslexia test and neuropsychological tests of Connors were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (analysis of variance with repeated measures). Findings: Data analysis showed that educational package of cognitive plays are effective in improving neuropsychological performance of dyslexic students (pConclusion: educational package of cognitive plays can be an effective therapeutic approach to improve the neuropsychological skills of dyslexic students.

Introduction: The main objective of this research is investigating the impact of customers’ favorite product selection in terms of the shape and color on the alpha wave. To conduct the study, four sets of images with different shapes (round and sharp) and colors (hot and cool) were designed for the cracker and pasta. Applying QEEG, participants’ alpha band electric waves were recorded after presenting the four set of images. Then, the subjects were asked to choose their preferred image collection. Using multivariate variance, the relationship between alpha-band electrical waves with preferential images was analyzed. Method: The research method was Experimental using several groups of subjects and the primary sample consisted of 375 persons who were randomly selected from Qom Payam-e-Noor University students. Then, 72 people were assigned to the final sample based on age, gender and handedness, so the mean age, gender proportion and the population handedness were observed in the final sample. Findings: The results showed that alpha oscillations by observation had significant relationship by considering conscious selected priorities in the electrodes of O1, T5, T3, C3, and C4. Data analysis showed that in general, the subjects who preferred the warm pictures generated more alpha waves when seeing white, hot and cool (both round and sharp) images in the mentioned electrodes. Conclusion: Consequently, it might be concluded that simply the presented images did not play a significant role in their selection, and in general, the warm images generated more alpha waves than the cool images.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to Compare the efficacy of neurofeedback training and verbal self instruction on reduce of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder symptoms. Method: For this aim, 60 students with attention deficit / hyperactivity symptoms among clients of counseling centers in Sanandaj selected and randomly divided and replaced into three groups of 20 people. The first and second groups, as experimental groups were received 12 sessions (one session per week) verbal self instruction and 24 sessions of neurofeedback training intervention (2 session per week), but the control group received no intervention. Research too ls include CSI (CSI-4), ability and difficulties questionnaire and Raven's IQ test. Findings: Findings from analysis of covariance showed that control of effect of pre-test, a significant difference (at P>0/001) are given in the post-test, post hoc test, showed that both treatment groups had a significant effect (at P>0/001) in reducing symptoms. But the effectiveness of neurofeedback group was significantly higher than verbal self instruction. Conclusions: Both methods have efficiency in reduce of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder symptoms, but the effectiveness of neurofeedback is higher than verbal self instruction. Mechanism of this effect is probably due to altered cognitive functions such as Inhibition.

Introduction: Risky behaviors are one of the most important causes of mortality in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of structural relationships between brain-behavioral systems activity, process emotion regulation strategies and risky behaviors. Method: 410 students (210 females and 200 males) were selected from the students of Karaj using multistage cluster sampling and assessed by adolescents’ risky behaviors questionnaire, Jackson Factor Scale, and emotional ordering questionnaire. After collecting data, Lisrel software and SPSS software were used for data analysis. Findings: The findings show that BAS, BAS and FFFS components have a direct effect on risky behaviors. Additionally, the reappraisal of emotional experiences by reducing the effect of the activity of brain-behavioral systems in the risky behaviors of adolescents has a mediator role, while the suppression of emotional experiences by mediating the activity of brain-behavioral systems in high-risk behaviors of adolescents has a direct mediator role. Conclusion: In general, the findings of this study support the role of physiological bases of personality and emotion regulation strategies in the incidence of risky behaviors.
