Abstract
Aim of the study:
Attention deficiency and hyperactivity disorder is the most common disorder in childhood period. This study was carried out with the aim of comparing two types of treatment in different types of visual attention.
Research method:
It was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test and control group. Fifty elementary school male students were selected as sample from students referred to psychiatric clinics in Karaj city. The sample that was selected using convenient sampling method was grouped randomly into three same groups including two experimental and one control group. Pre-test was done on all three groups using IVA test. One of the experimental groups was rehabilitated for 14 sessions using researcher-made tool. Another experimental group was treated for 18 sessions using neurofeedback method with Beta protocol. Control group did not receive any interventions. Afterwards, a post-test was done on all three groups using IVA test.
Results:
Results were analyzed using SPSS 19 software and MANCOVA analysis method. Results of multivariable co-variance analysis method showed cognitive rehabilitation method is more efficient than neurofeedback method in improving different types of visual attention in elementary school male students with ADHD.
Conclusion:
Rehabilitation method used for improving different types of visual attention in elementary school male students with ADHD is more efficient compared with neurofeedback method.
