Compared to their age peers, children with delayed language development show lower language abilities than the expected level and have problems in their daily life. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of child-centered neuropsychological program combined with emotion regulation on emotion regulation, self-esteem and language performance in children with delayed language development.

The research method was semi-experimental and pre-test and post-test with a control group. 30 children aged 4-8 years with delayed language development in Yazd city were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into two groups of 15 people, control and experimental. The data collection tools were Shields and Chikti's emotion regulation scale (1995), Azizi Moghadam's self-esteem questionnaire (2006) and Nyusha's growth assessment test (Malairi et al., 2017). Data analysis was done using multivariate and univariate correlation analysis test with SPSS-26 software.

The results of the research showed that the integrated child-centered neuropsychological program with emotion regulation on emotion regulation (f=50.137), self-esteem (f=76.701) and language performance (f=111.93) are significantly effective. has been (P>0.05).

The general conclusion showed that the integrated child-centered neuropsychological program with emotion regulation on emotion regulation, self-esteem and language performance in children with delayed language development is effective and the ability to improve language performance and manage emotions and self-concept in the group is studied

The current study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of neurofeedback-based training within the aggression and emotional dysregulation of soccer players. The research method was a quasi-experimental type and a pre-test-post-test research design with a control group. The statistical population of this research was the football players of Astaneh Ashrafieh city in 1400, from this statistical population, 24 adolescent boys were chosen and after matching based on age and education level, they were randomly separated into 2groups of 12individuals of the experimental group and control group supplanted. then Maxwell and Morris2007 competitive aggression questionnaire(2007) and Gertz and Roemer's(2004) difficulty in emotion regulation questionnaire are administered as pre-test and post-test for both groups. The group receiving neurofeedback training was given the shortest training according to the treatment protocol of 15 sessions of 30 minutes. The results of the analysis showed that the difference between the adjusted difference between the neurofeedback training group and the control group within the post-test stage was significant within the components of anger(P<0.001) and aggression(P<0.001). The contrast between the adjusted difference of the training group for neurofeedback with prove in the post-test phase on the total score of emotional dysregulation was significant(P<0.001). This significant level was repeated in all components of emotional dysregulation except the absence of emotional feelings(P>0.155). Hence, it can be said that training on neurofeedback has reduced the competitive aggression and maladjustment of football athletes. In other words, rewarding the optimal brain makes individuals learn how to perform well.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the tDCS method and short-term cognitive rehabilitation protocol on verbal fluency and visuospatial ability in the elderly with mild Alzheimer's disease.

The research method was an extended experiment with two experimental groups and one control group, which was conducted using the pre-test and post-test method. The statistical population included elderly people over 65 years of age with mild Alzheimer's who lived in Ardabil who had been referred to a neurologist in 2022,among these people, 60 people were randomly selected into two groups. An experimental and a control group were assigned. Then tDCS method was applied for 10 sessions of 20 minutes in one experimental group and short-term cognitive rehabilitation program for 9 sessions of 90 minutes was applied in the second experimental group and no intervention was performed in the third group. The post-test was conducted at an interval of one week. After one month, the studied groups were followed up again. Aden Brook's revised version of the cognitive test was used to collect data.

The results showed that tDCS significantly improves the visual component and the cognitive rehabilitation method improves perception. In general, it seems that the performed interventions improved visual spatial ability in the elderly with mild Alzheimer's disease, while they had no significant effect on the variable of verbal fluency.

It can be concluded that both methods can be used to improve the spatial visual ability of the elderly with mild Alzheimer's disease.

People of human society need shelter and a place to live and continue living. Today, housing is the place where people spend most of their time and it is important to meet people's mental and emotional needs. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the height scale of residential complexes and the level of decision-making by users. done in their selection. The current research method is a combination research and simulation method. The brain waves of 12 people were recorded with a 32-channel ERP device while doing a task about residential complexes. The components investigated in this research are F7 and F8. The results showed that the level of significance in the building height scale variable is (0.12), which is not significant, but the significance level of the decision-making rate (0.042) is smaller than 0.05, which is significant. Also, the interaction effect between the height scale of the building and the level of decision making (0.21) is greater than 0.05, it is not significant, but in the comparison of the effect between the three height levels of the building, the results showed that the significance level (0.04 <0.05) is significant in the height scale of 8-story buildings, although it is not significant in the height scale of 4- and 12-story buildings. Emotionally, choosing an 8-storey complex has been the priority of users in choosing, but in terms of logical choice, the height of the building was not enough to choose this complex.

The purpose of this research was to develop and validate the quick word finding cognitive rehabilitation package and its effectiveness on phonological awareness of children with special learning disorders characterized by reading.

This research was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of data collection method it was of mixed type (qualitative-quantitative). The statistical population of this research included all 7-10 year old elementary school students in Shadgan city with a diagnosis of reading learning disorder, 30 of these students (15 experimental group and 15 control group) were selected by available sampling method. In the pre-test phase, the sample answered the phonological awareness test by Kazemi and Soleimani (2004). In order to test the hypotheses, the mixed variance analysis method was used in SPSS23 statistical software. 

The results of the research showed that the cognitive rehabilitation program for quick word finding is based on the components of homogeneity detection, rhyme detection, phonological combination, identification of words with the same initial phoneme, identification of words with the same final phoneme, phonetic intersection, naming and deletion of the final phoneme, deletion of the middle phoneme and Naming and removing the initial phoneme is effective at different levels. The results showed that the changes were maintained until the follow-up stage.

Based on the results, it can be said that the quick word finding cognitive program can be effective in improving phonemic awareness and ultimately reducing learning disorders. Keywords: rapid word finding cognitive program, auditory sensitivity, auditory memory,

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of computerized cognitive rehabilitation on visual and auditory attention and response control in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This study was a pre-test-post-test experimental research with control group comparison. The IVA-2 test was used for evaluation. The statistical population included all children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder between the ages of 6 and 12 who had referred to a mental occupational therapy and speech therapy center for children in Arak city. 32 available children with ADHD were selected and randomly allocated into the experimental and control groups. In addition to routine treatments, the experimental group received a total of 21 sessions of computerized cognitive rehabilitation program in half-hour sessions 3 times a week for 7 weeks. To analyze the data, multivariate analysis of covariance was used in spss-24 software. Data analysis indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores in the two experimental and control groups. The research findings showed that computerized cognitive rehabilitation was effective on the attention and control of visual and auditory responses of children with ADHD (p<0.01).
