The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effectiveness of attentive rehabilitation of attention and memory (ARAM) on phonological working memory span and expressive and receptive language development in cochlear implant deaf children. This study was a quasi -experimental design with a pretest- posttest design with a control group and one momnth follow-up. Participants were 16 cochlear implanted children aged 6 to 8/9 years in exceptional elementary schools of Ahwaz in 2018- 2019 school year that were been selected with an available sampling method and randomly replaced in the experimental and control groups. Each group was include 8 person and both groups were evaluated by Wechsler Memory Scale subtest and Told-p: 3 (Persian version) in the same condition. The experimental group received 8 sessions and each session lasts for 45 minutes per a month of ARAM and the control group did not received any training. Both groups were evaluated again at the end of intervention and 1 month after that. Data analyzed with mixed analysis of variance (2×3). Phonological working memory span and expressive and receptive language development scores of children who received the ARAM was improved significantly rather than they who did not received that.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of computerized cognitive rehabilitation therapies (CCRT) on improvement of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and working memory capacity (WM) in elderly women. This study was a quasi experimental design with a pretest-posttest design with a control group with a one month follow-up. Subjects included 16 elderly women 65 years and older with mild cognitive impairment and low capacity of working memory at the Mehrpouyan elderly home in Behbahan city in 2018-2019. They were selected with an available sampling method and randomly placed in the experimental and control groups. Each group included 8 persons. To evaluate the Main Mental Status Examination (MMSE) (Fulestine et, al., 1975) and the Working Memory Capacity Test (Daneman & Carpenter, 1980). The experimental group was trained for 8 session with a memory rehabilitation software and the control group did not received any training. Data was analyzed with mixed analysis of variance. The scores from the MMSE and the Working Memory Capacity of the experimental group increased dramatically. As a result, computerized cognitive rehabilitation had a significant effect on the improvement of cognitive impairment and the capacity of working memory in elderly women.
