Objective: Sluggish Cognitive Tempo is one of the new disorders that has been seriously considered in cognitive psychology and can be influenced by various factors. Hence, the purpose of this study was develop a structural model to explain Predicting Sluggish Cognitive Tempo based on cognitive-emotional regularity and cognitive ability with the mediating variable of cognitive load in children. The research method was correlational and structural equation modeling. For this purpose, from among the statistical population of elementary school students in Tabriz city in the academic year of 1400-1401,Number of 200 students by screening method and using the SCT Penny et al scale (2009) were selected as the sample group. The instruments used in this study was include scales of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Garnfsky et al (2009), Cognitive Ability Questionnaire (Nejati, 2013),Cognitive load Klepsch et al (2017). the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and SPSS 22 and SMART PLS software and Sobel test.The results showed that the conceptual model developed had a good fit with the data.The results of the structural relationships of the model showed that cognitive-emotional regularity and cognitive ability have a direct and significant effect on Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (p˂0.01). Also, cognitive ability had a direct and significant effect on cognitive load (p˂0.01), but cognitive-emotional regulation did not have a direct and significant effect on cognitive load (p˂0.15). The results of indirect relationships showed that cognitive-emotional regularity and cognitive ability with the mediating variable of cognitive load have a significant effect on Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (p˂0.01). Based on the results, the cognitive-emotional regularity and cognitive ability effect on cognitive load and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo.Therefore, by developing programs to educate and increase cognitive-emotional regularity and cognitive ability and reduce cognitive load in people with Sluggish Cognitive Tempo can be expected to improve Sluggish Cognitive Tempo in them.

Objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate the structural model of academic adjustment based on cognitive load, cognitive flexibility, and metacognitive awareness, with the mediation of social-emotional competence and time perspective. Method:Research method was descriptive ,correlational and structural equation modeling.The statistical population included all high school students of Talesh city in the academic year 2021-2022, which Among them 384 people were selected by accessible sampling method and completed the questionnaires online. The instruments was include Baker & Seriak's academic adjustment scale (1984), Paas, Van Merenboer, Adam's (1994) cognitive load questionnaire, Dennis& Vanderwaal's (2010) cognitive flexibility questionnaire, Mokhtari &Richard's (2002) metacognitive awareness of reading strategies questionnaire, social-emotional competence scale by Ming Ming Zhou& Jesse E. (2012), Zimbardo &Boyd's time perspective questionnaire (1999). The results showed that the conceptual model developed had a good fit with the data. The results of structural equation analysis indicated the significance of the coefficients of the direct path between cognitive load and cognitive flexibility with academic adjustment in the final model. According to the first path, the positive mediating role of social-emotional competence in the relationship between cognitive flexibility and metacognitive awareness It was determined with academic adjustment. In the second path, it was found that the time perspective has a positive role due to cognitive flexibility and metacognitive awareness on academic adjustment. Conclusion: Using strategies to increase cognitive flexibility and metacognitive awareness and reduce undesirable cognitive load can lead to an increase in academic adjustment in students.
