| description | Background: This research aims to study the effect of neurofeedback training
on the working memory and perceptual-motor development of athlete boys.
Methods: Thirty athlete boy students of Gorgan province were selected by
convenient sampling and participated in the research process. First, a pretest
was conducted. All participants had done Wechsler digit span test and LincolnOseretsky perceptual-motor capabilities test. After that, participants were
randomly divided into test and control groups. Subjects of the experiment
group had 12 one-hour sessions neurofeedback training while the control group
subjects received no intervention during this time. Data were analyzed by using
multivariate covariance test (MANCOVA) by SPSS 18.
Results: The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant relationship
between mean direct and reverse digit span numbers and perceptual-motor
development of the experiment group before and after treatment (P<0.05)
and neurofeedback training has positive effect on the working memory and
perceptual-motor development of athlete boys.
Conclusion: Regarding the results of the current research, it seems that
neurofeedback training is effective on the working memory and perceptualmotor development of athlete boys; however, more research is required to achieve
more definite results about the effective and perpetual effects of neurofeedback
on the cognitive function of people. |
