A sample of 30 people who were lower in the dependent variable and willing to participate in the training sessions were selected randomly and divided into two experimental groups and one control group (each group was 15). Within a week of pre-test run for both groups, the experimental group was subjected to an independent variable of work memory training (20 sessions of a half-hour, three sessions per week) and the control group did not receive any training. Findings : In this study, the variance of multiple, single variable and multiple variable variables was used to analyze the differences between the groups, taking into account intra-group (test) and intergroup (group membership). The results showed that working memory training increased self-regulation in students. Discussion: Work memory training also increases academic well-being, self-regulation and academic achievement motivation in students. Manuscript profile
