Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION on COGNITIVE deficits in elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease.Methods: This controlled study followed a pretest/post-test paradigm. Sixteen elderly nursing-home residents with Alzheimer's disease in Kerman were included based on the defined criteria.Subjects were assigned to two groups i.e. experimental and control. Participantswere submitted tobrief mental state questionnaire, physical examination, Wechsler Memory Test, Tower of London, Go-No Go and Bender Gestalt Tests. The COGNITIVE REHABILITATION program using neuro-training for 24 sessions over 8 weeks, 2-3 times a week and 1-hour per session was performed. Same set of results were obtained in an 8-week follow-up.Data were analyzed using repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance.Results: According to our results, the experimental group who received computer-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION intervention was found to have significantly less impairment as compared to the control group in terms of scores in mental state examination (h2=-0.94), Tower of London task (h2=-0.68), Go- No Go task (h2=-0.93), memory performance in Wechsler memory test (h2=-0.89) and Bender-Gestalt test (h2=-0.88). Results also showed that the intervention effects on all variables remained consistent upon follow-up.Conclusion: Our findings confirmed the influence of computer-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION intervention to improve COGNITIVE function in elderly patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. Such INTERVENTIONS are therefore recommended in the applied neuro-COGNITIVE REHABILITATION setting.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of three therapeutic INTERVENTIONS, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), COGNITIVE REHABILITATION (CR), and motivational interviewing (MI), on COGNITIVE indices in male cannabis users. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 60 male participants aged 20-30, who were divided into three intervention groups (15 each) and one control group. COGNITIVE indices were assessed using the Forward and Backward Digit Span Task, N-Back Task, Stroop Test, Go/No-Go Task, Iowa Gambling Task, and Stop Signal Task. Results: The mean scores for correct responses and reaction times in the ACT, CR, MI, and control groups were 73.9 (763.9 ms), 70.9 (681.7 ms), 70.2 (770.0 ms), and 64.0 (794.2 ms), respectively. Presentation errors were recorded as 3.5, 3.6, 3.6, and 4.0, while deletion errors were 3.6, 3.8, 3.8, and 4.2. Decision-making scores were 1469.8, 1478.3, 1484.7, and 1508.5, whereas information processing speeds were 32.0, 29.0, 30.4, and 26.3. Although differences among INTERVENTIONS were not statistically significant at individual time points (P>0.05), longitudinal analysis indicated significant COGNITIVE improvements over time (P<0.0001). Conclusion: ACT emerged as the most effective intervention, highlighting its potential to ameliorate COGNITIVE impairments associated with chronic cannabis use. These findings underscore the necessity of targeted therapeutic strategies for cannabis users.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the treatment of mindfulness and COGNITIVE REHABILITATION on craving and emotion dysregulation in drug users in Tehran. Method: This study was a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of this study was substance abusers referred to specialized clinics for the treatment of substance abuse in Tehran. A total of 47 people from this population were randomly assigned into two experimental groups (mindfulness group = 16 people and COGNITIVE REHABILITATION group = 15 people) and a control group (n=16) as the study sample. One experimental group received 8 sessions of mindfulness therapy and the other experimental group received 12 sessions of COGNITIVE REHABILITATION. Groups were assessed by the craving scale and the difficulty in emotion regulation scale. Data were analyzed using repeated measures mixed-analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that mindfulness and COGNITIVE REHABILITATION significantly reduced emotion dysregulation and craving in the two experimental groups and mindfulness was more effective in reducing craving. Conclusion: Therapy based on mindfulness and COGNITIVE REHABILITATION can be appropriate therapeutic INTERVENTIONS for the recovery of drug-dependent people by reducing consumption temptation and difficulty in regulating emotion.

Aim: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children. The aim of this study was The Effect of Brain COGNITIVE INTERVENTIONS on executive functions in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Method: The method of this research was semi-experimental and applied in terms of its purpose, which was done using a pre-test-post-test design with control group. 30 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder participated in this study. At the pretest stage, Selected Attention Test was taken by Strop Effect on Psychological Refractory Period test. The participants were randomly divided into experimental and control groups of 15. The experimental group received Brain COGNITIVE INTERVENTIONS for 12 sessions per hour and for 4 weeks (3 sessions per week). During this period, no intervention was performed in the control group. After the end of the intervention period, a post-test was taken. Data were analyzed by covariance analysis using SPSS_22 software. Results: The results showed that Brain COGNITIVE INTERVENTIONS is affected by focused Selective Attention (P <0. 001) and divided (P <0. 002). Conclusion: In a general conclusion, it can be argued that presentation of Brain COGNITIVE INTERVENTIONS could improve executive functions such as focused selective attention and divided selected attention in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Background: This meta-analysis aimed to see how effective traditional and computer-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs are at improving COGNITIVE skills in children with special learning problems. Materials and Methods: This research is a meta-analysis of selected studies published in Iran between 2010 and 2020 in the field of COGNITIVE REHABILITATION INTERVENTIONS for special learning disorders using computers and classics training. The papers were researched and chosen from databases of scientific research publications in the fields of psychology and related sciences, with the research goal in mind. some educational databases were examined and searched, including the comprehensive portal of humanities (ensani. ir), the Noor specialized magazines database (noormags. ir), the scientific information database (sid. ir), the google scholar international scientific search (scholar. google. com), the Iranian magazine’, s database (magiran. com), and the MOH journals database (idml. research. ac. ir), from which 40 research papers were chosen to be entered into the database. Results: There were a total of 1061 samples and 40 effect sizes in the studies that were reviewed. The effect size of both COGNITIVE REHABILITATION program approaches on improving COGNITIVE function in children with specific learning disorders was equal to d=0. 95 with d=1. 01 for the effectiveness of computer-based training and about d=0. 90 for the effectiveness of classic training, according to the meta-analysis. According to Cohen's table, the calculated sizes of effects suggested high effects. Conclusion: This findings indicate that both computer-based and traditional COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs have a considerable impact on the COGNITIVE function of children with specific learning disorders.

Context: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of movement problems that do not worsen over time. They cause physical disability mainly in areas of body movement. It is caused by damage to the motor control centers of developing brain. Management of a child with CP to optimize functional abilities, typically includes the input of many disciplines, including occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT) and orthotic treatment. The main aim of this review was to compare the effects of most common REHABILITATION intervention on CP.Evidence Acquisition: This systematic review was conducted on published papers that studied REHABILITATION INTERVENTIONS approaches for children with CP. A literature search was performed using PubMed, SCOPUS and Google Scholar on papers published from January 1990 to October 2014.Results: From 125 articles related to REHABILITATION INTERVENTIONS for children with Cerebral palsy, 36 articles met the inclusion criteria.Conclusions: The efficacy of REHABILITATION INTERVENTIONS for children with CP is still inconclusive. Functional ability and social participation should be the main outcome measures in evaluating REHABILITATION efficacy.

COGNITIVE REHABILITATION is a group of designed techniques that is for the promotion of COGNITIVE domains in people with disease or disability. COGNITIVE REHABILITATION therapy (CRT) is the science of restoring COGNITIVE processing and learning compensatory strategies and it affects the molecular and cellular recovery REHABILITATION by integration of behavioral and COGNITIVE changes. The promotion of REHABILITATION science of COGNITIVE neuroscience has made it a priority by the help of full range of effected interventional procedures. It has been able to achieve the desired goals in the chain of theoretical and experimental science on the basis of behavioral INTERVENTIONS which is made of neuroscience, COGNITIVE neuroscience, psychology, physiology, pharmacology, medical imaging, and other medical disciplines and achieved some success in compensatory and medical strategies after surgery. COGNITIVE impairment after brain surgery is huge health challenges beyond the common disorders associated with diseases. Our approach to CRT is on the assumption that treatment would be the most effective way when focusing on the COGNITIVE sub-systems after neurosurgery and these are also affected by other aspects of life as a patient emotions, nutrition, health, stress, and social performance. Intervention in the passive skills can lead to neuro-COGNITIVE REHABILITATION that includes designed experience on the basis of nerve and brain function and structure. A failure of COGNITIVE or brain processing during or after surgery is an abnormal result and these impairments are treated better with CRT. This method is on the basis of neuroplastisity, reorganization of damaged cortical through morphological and physiological responses of nerve reconstruction ways by techniques in neuro-COGNITIVE disorders due to illness, injury or disability, even in healthy individuals which are affected by environment, the complexity of stimulation, repeated tasks and motivation.

2Introduction: Epilepsy can impact COGNITIVE ability in children. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of task-oriented COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs and computer-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs on COGNITIVE flexibility in children suffering from epilepsy. Materials and Methods: This study was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all children with epilepsy who were referred to the neurology clinic of Mofid Children's Hospital, Tehran in 2021. Using the purposeful sampling method, 45 eligible children were included in the study and were randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group (15 people in each group). In order to collect data, the Wisconsin cards test from Grant and Berg (1948) was used. Results: The results showed that both task-oriented COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs and computer-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs significantly increased COGNITIVE flexibility in children with epilepsy compared with the control group. There was no significant difference in the computer-based COGNITIVE section on the increase of COGNITIVE flexibility in children with epilepsy. Conclusion: Task-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs and computer-based COGNITIVE REHABILITATION programs can be a useful approach to increase the COGNITIVE flexibility of children with epilepsy.
