Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of parental education based on the prevention of the appearance of early maladaptive schemas on the resilience of mothers with children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with the pretest-posttest design with the control group. The population consisted of all mothers with ADHD children referred to counseling centers of Yazd city. Thirty persons of them were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Both groups were evaluated in two stages (pre-test and post-test) and completed the Conor and Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The experimental group subjected to 10 parenting training sessions for 90 minutes, based on the prevention of the emergence of early maladaptive schemas, and the control group remained in the waiting list. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis with SPSS software. The results showed that parental education based on the prevention of the appearance of early maladaptive schemas was effective on the resilience of mothers with ADHD children.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive rehabilitation on the improvement of attention deficit disorder in patients with hyperactivity disorder, based on quasi-experimental and pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population consisted of all patients with a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Roozbeh Psychiatric Hospital in Tehran (1397-1396). The patients were selected randomly by access sampling method and 30 entry and exit criteria were randomly selected and divided into two groups: control and Witnessed. Subjects, before and after the intervention, which included the Stroup computer test (1935) and the continuous performance test (Razold et al. 1956), were tested by the sequencing test (Battery, 1994) and Focus Point Questionnaire (Woody, Chamblass & Glass, 1997 quoted by Khayr et al. 2008) were evaluated. The results of the study indicated that cognitive rehabilitation affects the improvement of attention deficit disorder in patients with attention deficit, selective attention, continuous attention, distributed attention hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Abstract
This study aimed to compare was to compare the executive functions of inhibition, updating, and shifting in children with Attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo. The design of the present study was in the frame of Casual Comparative. Participants comprised 60 boys (30 ADHD and 30 SCT) from 4th-grade elementary schools in Tabriz in 1398-1399 academic years, which were selected through a screening method using the Child Behavior Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) and the SCT scale. Then, Stroop, memory retention, and plus-minus tests were performed on samples to measure inhibition, updating, and shifting. Manova was used to data analysis via SPSS20. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in executive functions of inhibition, updating, and shifting (P<0.0001). Moreover, Anova and means of the two groups showed that children with ADHD have deficits in inhibition, and children with SCT have gaps in updating and shifting. Based on the research Background and the findings of this study, it seems that SCT strongly associated with abnormal activity in posterior networks related to impaired updating and shifting and ADHD related to unusual activity in frontal-parietal systems related to impaired inhibition.

Abstract
Accidents, both intentional and unintentional, are one of the leading causes of death and disability for children around the world and impose a heavy financial burden on the health care system of societies. The aim of the present study was to compare sensitivity to punishment and reward and accident proneness in children with ADHD and SCT disorders The design of the present study was in the frame of Casual Comparative. Participants comprised 100 children (50 ADHD and 50 SCT) from elementary schools in Tabriz in 1398-1399 academic years, which were selected through a screening method using the Child Behavior Rating Scale (Swanson, Nolan, Pelham,1980), SCT questioner (Penny, Waschbusch, Klein, Corkum, Eskes, 2009), Balloon Analogue Risk Task (Lejuez,2002), and Minor Injury Severity Scale (Peterson, Saldana, hilum, 1996) were performed on samples. For data analysis, Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and SPSS20 software was used. The findings show that children with ADHD obtained higher scores on sensitivity to reward and accident proneness and children with SCT obtained higher scores on sensitivity to punishment (p<0.05). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that children with sluggish cognitive tempo have less accident proneness than children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder due to their sensitivity to punishment traits.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of fluoro time play therapy and neurofeedback therapy along with computer cognitive exercises on impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. The present study is quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a group awaiting treatment. The statistical population included children aged 8 to 11 years with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder in Neishabour. The sample size was 45 people who were selected by voluntary sampling method and were randomly divided into three groups of first and second experiment and control. parents answered the Hirschfield et al. (1965) Impulsivity Scale (IS) in the pre-test and post-test. the first experimental group underwent fluoro time play therapy intervention in 12 sessions and the second experimental group underwent neurofeedback therapy intervention in 30 sessions. The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that Fluorithime therapy and neurofeedback therapy are effective on impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (p <0.05). also, the results showed There was a difference between the effectiveness of fluoro time play therapy and neurofeedback therapy on impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (p <0.05). Therefore fluoro time play therapy and neurofeedback therapy along with computer cognitive exercises can help reduce the impulsivity of children with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.
