Abstract:   (482 Views)
Introduction: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common disorders in children, which directly affects the future of children's education and work. Therefore, in this research, we focus on the effectiveness of Spark-cognitive exercises on the two main components of concentration and working memory in this disorder. Materials and Methods: The experimental method of this research was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design. This research was conducted on female children from the first to third grades of schools in Mahabad, Iran. The purposeful sampling method and the method of assigning children to groups were random. The sample size was 30 people, 15 students were placed in the experimental group and 15 individuals were placed in the control group. The data were collected using the Wechsler IQ test for children (fourth edition) and were evaluated with the variance test with repeated measurements. Results: The results obtained from the analysis of variance for the dependent variables showed that in the treatment group, the scores of the variables of concentration and working memory increased significantly in the post-test and follow-up phase compared to the pre-test state. Conclusion: Our data revealed that performing Spark perceptual-motor exercises on concentration and working memory of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is an effective approach and can be used in designing intervention programs.
