The effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Working Memory and Reaction time in Athlete Girls

Aim: Techniques that directly examine and regulate the activity of the cortex can helps to improving working memory and response time. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cerebral magnetic stimulation on working memory and reaction time in athlete girls.
This study was semi-experimental method which was carried out using two groups with pre-test- and post-test design. A sample of 30 female athletes from the city of Shadegan were selected by sampling method and participated in the research process. First, a pre-test was taken. All respondents tested the reaction time and also a working memory test was taken. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups: transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and sham group. Acquisition stage was held in 2 days and a one rest day in between.
The results showed that brain of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation improved the progressive working memory, postoperative, mental control, logical memory, and retrieval. It also reduces the simple reaction time and selective.
In a general conclusion, direct brain stimulation in the prefrontal cortex in female students is one of the ways that can improve working memory and reduce the reaction time in athlete girls.
