Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the EASY Minds program on working memory and selective attention of a group of Iranian students with maths learning disabilities. The study had a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test, posttest, and follow-up tests. Forty students with maths learning disabilities were randomly assigned to either experimental or control groups. The findings showed that the program improved working memory and selective attention of the experimental group, and this effect lasted for a two-month follow-up. It can be concluded that the EASY Minds program can be used as an interventional technique to improve working memory and selective attention of students with maths learning disabilities.
