Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation on continuous attention, working memory and visual - motor perception in primary school students with specific learning disability. Methods: In this quasi -experimental study, 30 primary school students with a learning disorder diagnosis in Tabriz Learning Center in 2016-2017 were selected through call method and using randomly were replaced into experimental and control groups (n = 15 per group). In all four groups of N-back, continuous performance test and visual perception -motor Bender-Gestalt as pretest and post-test completion. Cognitive rehabilitation was performed in the experimental group using Sund Smart software for 20 sessions of 30-45 minutes (3 times a week for seven weeks) and the control group did not receive any interventions. Data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis in SPSS.20 software. Findings: The multivariate covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the mean scores of pre-test and post-test in the experimental and control groups in continuous attention variables and visual - motor perception, but there is no significant difference between the mean scores of the groups in the working memory variable at the evaluation stages. Conclusions: The use of cognitive rehabilitation is recommended in improving continuous attention and visual-motor perception in elementary school students with special learning disabilities.

Introduction: Achieving the optimal performance of improved attention is among the most important goals of students. This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of neurofeedback training on the improvement of Continuous Attention. Method: The method was quasi- experimental and had pre-post tests as well as control and experimental groups. The sample consisted of 30 student athletes in Tabriz. The 15 participants of the experimental and control groups were selected randomly. The experimental group took Neurofeedback training for 20 sessions, 3 sessions per week. Results: Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The results showed that the difference in mean score of the experimantal and control groups was significant (P
