A sample of 80 people (40 healthy and 40 patients) were selected through a sampling method. After collecting the rumination questionnaire, subjects were tested by assignment test of Curci blocks for spatial memory assessment. After collecting the data, the data were analyzed using SPSS software using multiple covariance analysis.

The effect of diabetes and rumination on spatial memory was not significant (P = 0.001); there was no significant difference between the interactions of rumination and type 1 diabetes.

Disease diabetes mellitus did not affect spatial memory. Also, high rumination did not interfere with spatial memory function.
