Educational effect of Captain Log software on working memory, processing speed and cognitive flexibility in children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Captain Log software training on processing speed, working memory and cognitive flexibility in children with attention deficit / hyper-activity disorder.

From children aged 7 to 9 years with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder referred to health centers of East Azerbaijan province, 30 people were selected using purposive sampling method and in this quasi-experimental study of pre-test-post-test type They participated with two control and experimental groups. Data collection was performed using three subscales tests (cryptographic test, symbolization test and digit memory expanse test) Wechsler intelligence test for children and visual memory subscale of Wexler memory test and Wisconsin card classification test. Mean data and standard deviation were used to analyze the data in the inferential statistics section and repeated measures analysis of variance was used in the analytical statistics section.The mean difference in the three variables showed that processing speed and working memory And cognitive flexibility (P<0/0001) is significant in children trained with software and untrained children.

The results showed that the training of Captain Log cognitive software caused active memory in children with attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder.
