The present research aimed to examine the effects of an eight-week perceptual-motor training program on working memory in 8-12 year-old children with Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCD). Materials and Methods: A total of 20 children with DCD were selected from DCD students of exceptional schools in Kermanshah city and randomly divided into two groups of experimental and control. The perceptual-motor training protocol consisted of eight weeks, three sessions per week, and 50 minutes for each session. Working memory was measured using the working memory software standard test. Results: After making sure about normality of distribution using klomogrov-smirnov test, the data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests for comparing within and between group effects. There was a significant improvement from pretest to posttests in...

The population included all third grade to sixth female students with learning disabilities in the city of Kermanshah Of them, 28 patients were selected and divided into control and experimental groups. Research Instruments included The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) of Broadbent, the Colorado Learning Difficulties Questionnaire (CLDQ) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children- fourth edition. Captain Log's cognitive rehabilitation program at 12 session of 50- 60 minute twice a week for the study group was developed. Covariance analysis indicated that the effectiveness of computer-based cognitive reha...

The present study aimed to investigate various dimensions of memory in the elderly and compare it with non-elderly. It was designed as a causal-comparative study. 180 samples were chosen among Kermanshah citizens through the availability sampling method and were divided into three groups of elderly, middle-aged and young, each group consisting of 60 people. Wechsler Memory Scale was used to evaluate the dimensions of memory (personal information, navigation, subjective control, logical memory, counting memory, visual memory, associative memory). Results from variance analysis and Scheffe's test showed a significant difference in all sub-scales of the Wechsler memory test for the elderly with young and middle-aged groups (P <0.001). Also, there was a significant difference in the subscales of logical memory, visual memory, associative memory, and ...

The research methodology is semi-pilot with pre-test and post-test design with a control group. Statistical population, including the junior high school students of Kangavar city in the academic year 92-93, Statistical Sample of this study was composed of 30 students who were selected by multistage random sampling and placed in two groups of control and test group. (Each group consisted of 15 members). Then for each group (Spielberger’s exam Anxiety Inventory) semi-pilot were performed. The test group took 8 trainings sessions timed 60 minute in group method and timed per week and control group has remained on hold. Finally post exam on both groups was performed. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate covariance statistical test results obtained by multiple covariance’s analysis, showed that, cognitivebehavi...

The descriptive research method is correlation type, the statistical population consists of all the teachers of West Islamabad city and the sample includes 216 female and male teachers (116 female teachers and 100 male teachers separately) which were selected by convenience sampling. The short version of NEOFive Factory Inventory (FFI), the organizational commitment questionnaire of Allen and Meyer and teacher morale questionnaire were used for data collection. The results showed an inverse relationship between vocational interest and neurosis (r=-0.599), a positive relationship between vocational interest and extraversion (r=0.204) and a positive relationship between vocational interest and compatibility (r=0.189). There is also an inverse relationship between neurosis and organization...

It was a semiexperimental study. Pre-test and post-test were used with control group. 12 preschool students of exceptional center of Islamshahr were selected randomly to two test and control groups. At first, they were evaluated based on fine motors scale. Then received training for ten sessions. Experimental group received training along with music therapy, while the control group just received training. After ten sessions, both groups were assessed on the Scale of fine motors.The covariance analysis showed rhythmic music leaves a positive effect on increasing the skill in some of the fine motors (in terms of learning elegance and training time) of educable slow learners.

The population of this study included all patients admitted to Army Hospital No.520 recognizing MDD that 30 individuals of population were select ed by using random sampling into experimental and control groups (n = 15 experimental and 15 control). The research method was a quasi-experimental design in which pre-test -post-test with control group design was used. The instrument consists of metacognitive therapy, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and the Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ-30). Data were analyzed with inferential statistics methods including t-test for independent groups and Anova (ANCOVA). Results in this study showed that meta-cognitive therapy reduces emotional symptoms (sadness, frustration, guilt, self -loathing, crying, restlessness, social withdrawal and irritability), cognitive symptoms (pessimism, expectation of failure, feeling of pu...
