Abstract

The current paper aims at investigating the effectiveness of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on cognitive flexibility and selective attention of high school students.

Method: A subject of 30 high school students in Tehran were selected. The subject randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups of 15 students per group. The experimental group received 16 computer-based cognitive rehabilitation 45- minutes intervention sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention. Research instruments included The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and The Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT). The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) using SPSS 26 software.

Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in some components of cognitive flexibility and selective attention.

Conclusion: The findings show that computer-based cognitive rehabilitation intervention is effective on cognitive flexibility and selective attention of high school students.
