Abstract: (710 Views)

The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the feasibility of multisensory instruction and cognitive empowerment on processing speed, working memory and visual-motor coordination of children with Mathematics Learning disorder. The present research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest and control group design. The statistical population of the study included all children with mathematics learning disorders from the second to the fifth grade who referred to learning disorder centers in Rasht city in the 2022-2023. The sample size convince sampling included 45 children who received the diagnosis of mathematical learning disorder, who were randomly assigned to Three groups of 15 people (two experimental group and control group). The research tools include the fourth version of the Wechsler Children's Intelligence Scale (WISC-IV, 2003), to evaluate processing speed and working memory, the Key Math test (KMDT, 1988), the Bandar Gestalt visual-motor skills test (BVMGT,1938), and the Raven progressive matrices test (RPMT, 1936). The data was analyzed by multivariate covariance analysis. The findings of the research showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there was a significant difference between the average processing speed, working memory and visual-motor coordination in the two experimental and control groups (p<0.05). In addition, There was no significant difference between the effectiveness of the two interventions (P>0.05). Therefore, both interventions are useful for improving processing speed, working memory and visual-motor coordination of children with math learning disorders.

Keywords: Cognitive Empowerment, Multisensory Instruction, Mathematics Learning Disorder, Working Memory, Processing Speed, Visual-Motor Coordination.
