Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine neurofeedback impacts on the visual-auditory performance (response inhibition and motor-sensory) of children with ADHD. The present study is a quasi-experimental type and performed using pretest-posttest plan with one group. The statistical population includes all 7-14 years old students referring to Kerman’s Peyvand consultation center in 2016-2017 that diagnosed as ADHD. The sample included 30 students selected by convenience and voluntary sampling method. First, Integrated Visual and Auditory (IVA) test was conducted to screen the participants and then neurofeedback protocol was performed in forty 45-minute sessions three days a week. The results showed that there are significant statistically and clinically improvements in IVA measures of response control mean score (visual and auditory) and motor-sensory skill mean score (visual and auditory). Based on findings of this study, neurofeedback training improved response control and motor-sensory skills both in visual and auditory aspects in ADHD children in posttest and follow-up stages.
