        The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of induced stress on the number of students’ visual working memory mistakes for emotional & none motional stimuli. This experimental study used a post-test with control group design. 60 students were selected through available sampling and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. Through Socially Evaluated Cold-Pressor Test, stress was induced and perceived stress was measured by using a scale consisted of 100 points and then the level of Physiological signs of participants were checked. Afterward, an n-back task (Kirchner, 1958) was used to evaluate the visual working memory. Finally, the participants’ mental attempts were evaluated by another scale (Zijlstra, 1993). Each participant, through a between groups design, completed different stages of the study. Mixed-model ANOVA and Paired t-test were used to analyze the data. According to the results, the number of omission errors in emotional stimuli were significantly more than none emotional stimuli, in which negative stimuli (P=0.01) were wrongly selected more than positive ones significantly (P=0.001). Also, males (M=10) made more omission mistakes than females (M=9.23). It seems that the function of visual working memory under stress is not as normal condition, especially for negative stimuli. Generally, by impairing the function of visual working memory, stress increases the rate of mistakes in remembering the presented stimulus. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: In this study, the relationship between spatial visual observation and working memory with creativity and math anxiety has been investigated through mediation of mathematical self-efficacy and social intelligence among female students. Methodology: The method is correlation with a path analysis. A total of 477 students were selected randomly from a multi-stage cluster randomly from all female students of fifth grade elementary school in public schools in Tehran during the academic year of 2017-18. Students were examined by the non-verbal creativity questionnaire of Torrance Form A, MARS-R Mathematic Anxiety Scale, working Memory for Children (SMBK), Liv, Kivevala and May,s Mental Self-Efficacy, Traumous Social Intelligence (TSIS), and Processing Test Binet's spatial visualization completed. In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation and path analysis were used .Results: Based on the proposed model (RMSEA = 0.001), in this study, Visual- spatial Processing variables were only indirectly mediated by social intelligence and math self-efficacy variables on math anxiety (P-value <0.05, = β) and showed a relationship with social intelligence mediating with creativity (P-value <0.05). Also, the working memory variable was displayed only directly (P-value = 0.03, β = 099) with creativity. Conclusion: Considering the confirmation of the main goal of this study, one can mention the two variables of social intelligence and mathematical self-efficacy as the variables that influence the educational priorities of the educational system in order to increase creativity and reduce the math anxiety Manuscript profile

        Abstract The present study aimed at designing and evaluating the psychometric properties of Hassani’s Emotional Active Memory Software Test on a sample of 80 fifth grade female students in public schools of Tehran during the academic year 2016-2017. They were selected via two multistage cluster sampling and purposive methods. The test consists of 8 blocks, each consists of 12 exercises. 3 blocks is performed for each subject selected randomly. The stimuli have a number of emoji with emotional loads and marks. To investigate the psychometric properties, test-retest reliability coefficient with 20 days interval was employed. The correlation coefficients ranged from 0.68 to 0.75. In addition, validity of the test was assessed using content validity and criterion validity techniques by comparing "matched groups". The first group consisted of 20 normal students, and the second group included 20 students with active memory deficits and low cognitive emotion regulation. The second group’s subjects were identified by two the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) and Garnefski’s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). The results of comparing mean scores of the two groups in different parts of the test showed a significant difference between the performance of them (p = 0.001). Therefore, Hassani’s Active Memory Software Test has good reliability and validity and can be used to measure emotional memory in psychological studies in the mentioned age range. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: pilates improves spinal condition at an important level of flexibility and strength. the aim of present study was to Investigate the effect of 8 week of Pilates correction exercises on cardiorespiratory fitness and working memory capacity of girle students kyphotic aged 12 to 15 years in Kangavar city in 1400.Metodology: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. Twenty-five girle students aged 12 to 15 years with kyphosis were purposefully selected. After eliminating the sick and the final drop, the number of samples reached 15. Students' kyphosis angle was measured with a flexible ruler, cardiorespiratory fitness was measured by a shuttle& run test, and working memory capacity was measured by a computer test. K-S test was used to investigate the normal distribution of data and paired t-test was used to evaluate the changes in research variables at the significance level of α = 0.05 using Spss software, version 16.Results: Based on the results of this study, the means of the three variables; There is a significant difference (p≤0.05) in pretest and posttest memory for working memory capacity (p = 0.000), cardiorespiratory readiness (p = 0.000) and kyphosis angle (p = 0.000). It can be argued that Pilates largely avoids high impact, high power output, and heavy muscular and skeletal loading and this improves physiological and cognitive functions. Manuscript profile

        In terms of purpose, this research is applied and is classified as a semi-experimental and pre-test-post-test type of research with a control group. The statistical population included all dyslexic students in the fourth grade of Kerman city in the academic year 2021-2022. 50 students were randomly selected and randomly divided into two groups of 25, experimental and control. The data measurement tool was the active memory capacity questionnaire and the innovation-based performance questionnaire, which were completed by the subjects before and after the intervention. After data collection, data analysis was done using spss25 software and analysis of covariance. The results showed that in the subscales of working memory, the average of the measurement variable (53.6000) in the post-test of the experimental group was reported as the highest average. Also, in the post-test of the experimental group, the highest mean for processing (52.6800), creativity and innovation (21.6400) and use of new opportunities (21.0800) were reported, respectively, which shows an increase in the mean of the post-test of the experimental group. To pre-test this group. In general, online multi-user educational computer games have a significant effect on active memory and innovative performance of dyslexic fourth grade elementary students (p≤0.05).

        این مطالعه به بررسی تأثیر متقابل آموزش راهبرد فراشناختی ضمنی و صریح و ظرفیت حافظه فعال فراگیران پرداخته است. بدین منظور 63 زبان‌آموز انگلیسی به ‌عنوان شرکت‌کننده‌ بر اساس آزمون تعیین سطح مشخص شده و به شکل تصادفی در دو گروه آزمایشی (آموزش راهبرد فراشناختی ضمنی و آشکار) و دو گروه کنترل (فعال و غیرفعال) قرار گرفتند. در گروه آموزش صریح، یک مدل دستورالعمل راهبرد فراشناختی آشکار اجرا شد و گروه ضمنی دستورالعمل‌هایی را بر اساس یک مدل دستورالعمل راهبرد فراشناختی تلویحی دریافت کرد. همه شرکت‌کنندگان در آزمونهای اندازه گیری عمل کرد حافظه فعال و همچنین بخش درک شنیداری PET شرکت کردند. آنها همچنین بخش شنیداری FCE را به عنوان آزمون انتقال دریافت کردند. نتایج نشان داد در حالی که دستورالعمل‌های راهبردی فراشناختی ضمنی و آشکار به طور معنی دار به عملکرد درک شنیداری منجر می‌شوند، آموزش صریح از اندازه اثر بزرگتری برخوردار است. تغییرات درک شنیداری در گروه کنترل فعال معنی دار نبود که نشان دهنده مثبت نبودن نتیجه در اثر صرفاً ارائه راهبردها بدون زمینه سازی در عمل بود. ظرفیت حافظه فعال همچنین نشان داد در پیش‌بینی بهبود درک شنیداری در گروه آموزش صریح قدرت  بیشتری دارد. این مطالعه نشان داد آموزش راهبردی فراشناخت ضمنی برای فراگیرانی که ظرفیت محدود حافظه فعال یا ظرفیت حافظه فعال ناهمگن دارند بسیار بهتر عمل می‌کند.

          T his study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Phonological Awareness Training (PAT) on visuospatial working memory of 3rd grade students with written expression disorder. The study design was quasi-experimental with a pretest, posttest, and control group. Thirty students were randomly selected and evaluated by the Writing Expression Test (Fallahchai, 1379), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Wechsler, 2000), and the Visuospatial Working Memory Test (Cornoldi & Viecchi, 2004). They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (each consisted of 15 individuals). The experimental group participated in 13 sessions and was trained by the phonological awareness program but control group participated in the regular school program. All subjects were evaluated after the 13th session and two months later. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance and repeated measurement analysis of variance. The findings showed that 32% of variation in improvement of visuospatial working memory of the experimental group has been due to the phonological awareness intervention and lasted after two months (P<0.001). Based on the results the Phonological Awareness Training leads to  JIP Aug 2019 SS.docx JIP Aug 2019 SS.docxpromoted visuospatial working memory of experimental group, and its effects lasted for two months. Therefore, the implementation of the Phonological Awareness Training is worthwhile for promoting the visuospatial working memory of the students with written expression disorder.   Manuscript profile

        Abacus-based mental calculation is a mental calculation skill based on the manipulation of beads on a mental abacus that activates preparietal areas that mainly overlap with the working memory network. The purpose of the present study was to compare the active memory and processing speed of students with and without UC Mes training. The comparative causal research method and the statistical population included all primary students of the fourth grade in Islamshahr city. 160 students were selected from this community, including 80 regular students (40 girls and 40 boys) using random cluster sampling and 80 UC Mes students (40 girls and 40 boys) using purposive sampling. Children's Wechsler Intelligence Test-4 was used to measure active memory and processing speed. The results of two-way analysis of variance showed that active memory and processing speed of UC Copper students are significantly higher than normal students (p<0.001). Also, the working memory of UC Mes girls was higher than its boys and the processing speed of UC Mes boys was higher than its girls (p < 0.001). Conclusion: UC Mes can be used as an intervention method to improve working memory and processing speed of children. Manuscript profile
