Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of rhythmic kinesthetic games on spatial perception, working memory, and cognitive failures of students with learning disabilities.
Methods: The present study adopted an experimental design (pre-test and post-test with a control group) and the statistical population of the study was all female students with learning disabilities in Maragheh in the second semester of 2020. Using the convenience sampling method, 30 individuals were selected and randomly placed in experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The research instruments included Broadbent’s standard cognitive failures guestionnaire, Frostig’s developmental test of visual perception and Wechsler’s working memory Test, all of which had satisfactory validity and reliability. Finally, analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that the differences between the mean scores of the participants in the experimental and control groups regarding working memory, cognitive failures and spatial perception after removing the post-test effects were significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: This means that rhythmic kinesthetic games have improved spatial perception, working memory and cognitive failures of students with learning disabilities in Maragheh.
