The effect of cognitive games on cognitive flexibility in children with mathematical disorders

Play therapy is effective in improving the cognitive problems of children with learning disabilities.
The objective of this study is to examine effectiveness of cognitive games (games based on executive functioning) on the cognitive flexibility of the students with dyscalculia.
In this study which we have used the pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental design / plan with control group, 20 students with dyscalculia who were selected through purposive sampling, were randomly divided into control and experimental groups (each group n=10). Wisconsin executive function test has used to assess cognitive flexibility performance. The data resulting from the study has analyzed by MANCOVA.
The finding have shown that experimental group compared to control group have significant difference in the results of the test after participating in the intervention.
Cognitive games can improve the cognitive dysfunction of children with math disorders.
