Mirror neurons play an important role in the understanding of emotional functions. On the other hand, ADHD people are having difficulty understanding both emotional aspects. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the emotional processes on the functioning of the mirror neuron system in people with ADHD traits.

At first, 500 students of Kharazmi University of Tehran were randomly selected and They were screened by Adult Barclaychr('39')s ADHD scoring scale and Then 15 people who had a standard z score equal to or higher than +1.5 were selected as the sample group Then, an interview was conducted based on DSM-5 criteria and ensured the presence of ADHD symptoms in these people. And these people together with 15 normal students formed the sample size of the research Then the activity of neurons was measured using an EEG device while performing emotional processing tasks. In this study, the data collected after registration, with an alpha level of 0.05 in SPSS 21 software based on descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum) and inferential (multivariate analysis of variance, univariate analysis of variance) were analyzed.

The results of this study showed that the activity of the mirror neurons system during emotional tasks is lower in people with ADHD than in normal people.

The results of this study suggest that mirror neurons should be considered as an important factor in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD disorder.

the present study aimed to the comparison of the intolerance of uncertainty (IU) and short-term memory capacity in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and normal individuals. a total of 30 patients (16 female, 14 male) with obsessive-compulsive were selected using convenience sampling from the psychiatric clinics and centers of Tabriz were matched with 30 patients (16 females and 14 males) of normal individuals by demographic information, and all of them were assessed through Baher & Dougas’s intolerance of uncertainty scale and the Wechsler Digit span test subscales .Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and as well as SPSS version 19. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in terms of IU (P

The failures of memory function in post-traumatic stress disorder and its relationship with severity of symptoms need to take new approaches to improve the memory performance in patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the Effectiveness of emotional working memory Training on improvement memory in adolescents with Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). For this purpose, 4 adolescents (M: 2 F: 2) were selected available sampling by using 2 instruments (SCID-I) & (IES-R) The selected people– one by one were under emotional working memory training during 20 sessions. All people were assessed during three stages (pre-training, post- training and 2 month follow up) by children' Wechsler Digit Span Test (direct and reverse). Data were analyzed using the indices for trend changes, slope and the visual inspection of the charts; recovery percent index and effect size were used to determine the clinical significance. The results showed that emotional working memory training lead to increase in ability of participants in memory from pretest to follow up who suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorders. Regarding the current study, it can be said that emotional working memory training is an appropriate choice for increase in memory in adolescents suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder

Background and Cognitive and emotional problems as well as deficiencies highlight the need for new methods of therapy in adolescents with PTSD. The aim of this study was to investigate the Effectiveness of emotional working memory Training on cognitive and affective Control ability in adolescents with Post- Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD). The Statistical population this study was all adolescents with posttraumatic stress disorder in the city of Karaj، in the 94-93 school year. Based on the framework of single case by using multiple –baselines، 3 adolescents (M: 1 F: 2) were selected available sampling by using 2 instruments (SCID-I) & (IES-R) from one of the Educational child care center in city of Karaj. The selected people– one by one were under emotional working memory training during 20 sessions. All people were assessed during three stages (pre-training، during therapy and 2 month follow up) by Data were analyzed using the indices for trend changes، slope and the visual inspection of the charts; the Cohen''s d، recovery percent index and effect size were used to determine the clinical significance. The data analysis showed that emotional working memory training is significantly effective in increasing of cognitive and affective control ability in adolescent with PTSD. Regarding the current study، it can be said that emotional working memory training is an appropriate choice for increase in cognitive and affective Control in adolescents suffering from Post- Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD).
