The Effectiveness of Cognitive Rehabilitation Education on Improving Visual and Autistic Memory in Children with Learning Disabilities with Hyperactivity Disorder and Hyperactivity Disorders

Researches in the field of children with learning disabilities show that these children often have disturbances in perception, language, phonological processing, motor disorders and memory. Memory problems of many of children with learning disabilities associated with various auditory and visual processes and memory disorders in these children may be deficient in other cognitive domains. On the one hand, the researches in the field of cognitive rehabilitation show the improvement of executive functions such as attention and memory through this method. Considering the findings and aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation in children with learning disabilities (with and without ADHD) in auditory and visual memory improvement, 26 cases of children with learning disabilities (10 with ADHD and 15 without ADHD) was selected and assessed with CSI-4 and rehabilitated through N-back software (21 half-hour sessions) and data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and t-test. Results showed that cognitive rehabilitation for groups have been effective and differences in effectiveness for auditory memory in the two groups was significant and effective for auditory memory in LD children with ADHD was significant compared to the group without ADHD. The difference for visual memory was not significant.
