Investigating the Amplification of Working Memory Using Computer and its Effectiveness on Recovering the Reading Function and Accuracy in Tehran's Dyslexic Students at Primary Level

This study investigates the use of amplification of working memory using computer in recovering the reading function and Accuracy in Tehran’s dyslexic students at primary level. The study is a semi-experimental research with pre-test and post test. 30 students were chosen randomly among 48 dyslexic students who studied in learning disability governmental centers of Tehran. They were divided randomly in two groups of control and trial (15 students for each group). The dyslexia test of Kormi Noori and Moradi and also Tehran-Stanford-Bine kamkari intelligence scale was used. The obtained data was analyzed using statistical method of Covariance. Results showed that amplifying the working memory using computer improves the reading function and accuracy of dyslexic students. It can be said that working memory has an important and essential role in reading function. Deficiency of working memory leads to weakness in reading function of students with learning disability and dyslexia.
