Abstract
Aim and Background: The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of neuropsychological rehabilitation of executive functions on students' memory.
Materials and Methods: This research is semi-experimental using a computerized Wechsler working memory intelligence test prepared and compiled from the Farakhnai subscale of the Wechsler intelligence scale, which was used to measure working memory. The statistical sample consisted of 20 high school students who were randomly selected from high school boys in Varamin in the academic year of 1400-1999 in public high schools in mathematics, experimental and human subjects. The subjects were in two control groups (10 subjects) and the experiment (10 subjects) were randomly replaced.
Findings: Neuropsychological rehabilitation of executive functions is effective in improving students' auditory memory/forward repetition, auditory memory/reverse repetition, visual memory/forward repetition, visual memory/reverse repetition, auditory memory, visual memory, and auditory memory span. Visual memory of students is not effective. Also, there was a statistically significant increase in the average score of all dimensions of working memory from the time before the intervention to the follow-up period, and only in the visual dimension / reverse repetition of the average before the intervention (p≤0.001). There was no significance between the two means (p≥0.001).
Conclusion: In general, the results show the effectiveness of neuropsychological rehabilitation of executive functions on students' memory

The statistical population included all second high school female students of Arak city in the academic year of 1998, numbering 13,700 people. Out of this number, 60 students whose academic procrastination score was low were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to three groups, two experimental groups and one experimental group (20 people in each group). The first experiment group received the research educational intervention including the creativity training program based on the Pirkhafi model (2013) and the second experiment group received learning strategies training based on the Kerami and Amirtimori model (2013). In this research, procrastination, optimism and adaptive performance questionnaires were used. Also, multivariate covariance analysis was used to analyze the data..
Findings: The results of the analysis showed that in the field of creativity training and learning strategies training, there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the level of academic vitality and self-efficacy, and there is also a significant difference in the comparison of the effectiveness of the training in favor of creativity training (p≤0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the present study indicated that teaching creativity and learning strategies promotes optimism and adaptive performance in procrastinating female students
