Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation, on improving the executive functions of selective attention, inhibitory control and working mwmory in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment. This experimental study was a Single Subject of type A-B, which 6 elderly (4 women and 2 men) with an average age of 62 years old were selected via purposeful convenience sampling and randomly assigned into two groups of control (n=3) and experimental (n=3). The evaluation of selective attention and inhibitory control was done using Stroop, Go/NO Go and N-back tests, and the "ARAM" rehabilitation program was presented in 10 one-hour personal sessions for each experimental group subjective. All subjective in both groups was evaluated 6 times (before, during, just after and 2 months following the intervention) and also control group were evaluated simultaneously without receiving any interventions. Using visual analysis, collected data revealed that the scores of both tests of executive functions in experimental group, were steadily increased all through intervention, while the control group scores’ did not make significant changes. Also, two-month follow-up evaluations showed a stable improvement in executive functions of the experimental group. Therefore, it can be concluded that cognitive rehabilitation based on ARAM program has improved the functions of selective attention, inhibitory control and working memory in elderly with mild cognitive impairment. As there are many documentaries suggesting possibility of leading mild cognitive impairment to more serious cognitive disabilities such as Alzheimer’s disease, such findings can confirm possibility of improving cognitive functions of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment with, with lower therapeutic costs applying the help of technology

Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on cognitive regulation of emotion and emotion understanding in children with specific learning disorders. This research was conducted in a semi-experimental way (pre-test - post-test with a control and follow-up group). The statistical population of this study consisted of all the students with specific learning disorders (10-12 years old), who had been referred to the learning disorders center in Ardabil between the first of October and the middle of November 2017 (123 people). 30 of them were selected through purposive sampling (selection of volunteer students to participate in the research) (16 boys and 14 girls) and the emotional regulation questionnaires of Garnefsky et al. in identifying emotions and difficulty in describing emotions) were completed in three stages. The students of the experimental group completed the tasks of the cognitive rehabilitation package in 12 sessions of 45 minutes in a period of four weeks. The results of the covariance analysis of the data showed that the cognitive rehabilitation package based on a computer has an effect on improving rumination, positive refocusing, refocusing on planning, positive reappraisal, and acceptance of cognitive regulation of emotions in children with specific learning disorders, as well as understanding their emotions. The significance and comparison of the post-test results with the one-month follow-up test indicate the stability of this effect. Therefore, since these students are facing problems in cognitive regulation and emotional understanding, such interventions can solve their problems in this field.
