Introduction:The aim of the present quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test design with control group study was to examine the effectiveness of computer-assisted cognitive remediation on executive functions and cognitive abilities of students with diabetes. Method: 18 Students with diabetes were selected from the Diabetes Association of Bonab city and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups of nine people. Executive functions and cognitive abilities of both experimental and control groups were measured with research tools in the pre-test and post-test steps. The tools used in this study were computer software for memory and attention refinement, the software version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and the Coglab software (change detection from the attention test set, and signal detection of Perception test set). For intervention, the experimental group was individually under cognitive remediation in 10 half-hour sessions (twice a week) by using attention and memory improvement software. Findings: Data were analyzed using one-way covariance analysis. The results indicated an increase in cognitive abilities (attention for the discovery of change and perception) in the experimental group. However, the applied intervention did not increase the executive functions of the experimental group. Conclusion:The study concluded that although the intervention and the number of meetings prescribed in this study were useful for promoting cognitive abilities, they did not have enough power to improve its executive functions.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of time limitation and level of movement on the spatial accuracy of the speed-precision of Fits task while moving with distal and proximal parts of the hand. Method: The method of this study was semi-experimental and in terms of purpose was fundamental. The statistical university was of the right-handed female students of 19 to 28 years old. Sampling method was available to 20 people. The data were collected by software hit to the target designed by the researcher. The tool used was similar to the one used in the Fits test, and its validity was confirmed by the experienced people in motor behavior. The software reliability was obtained 0.89 through test-retest and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings: In the review of the hits number to the right side goal, the main effect of the limited time and the interaction of the part with limited time was significant at different limited times. Also, at various limited times, it had a remarkable effect on the correct hits number to the right side target in the proximal and distal parts while doing movement in the horizontal and vertical level. Additionally, the hits number to the left side target, at various limited times, the main effect of the limited time and the interaction of the motion plate with the section was also significant. In the proximal and distal parts of the horizontal and vertical motion, limited time variations had a significant effect on the correct hits number to the left side target.Conclusion: Therefore, the longer the movement time is, the greater the accuracy of movement and the lesser the effective width of the target. The accuracy of movement in the distal part is higher than the proximal section. Also, the difficulty of moving in a horizontal level is less than the vertical level.
