Objective: The aim of this study was comparison of the effectiveness of music and bilateral brain training with regard to reorganization of brain in reduction of dyscalculia symptoms in female students,7-9 age.Method:Using experimental pre-post test(tree groups) research method, with screening sampling at first, and the sample consisted of 21 dyscalculia students that had been studied at the second and third grade of primary school. These cases were selected randomly sampeling ,and divided into three groups (music training group, bilateral brain training group and control group).The impact of independent variables have been assessed by the Chek-list of Dyscalculia diagnosis (DSMIV) , Key- math Test , Intelligence Test (Wechsler,Brain-Mapping (EEG) .After training (16 seccions) all of tests were evaluated again Result:The data was analized with SPSS (T-test Manova and Covariance).The finding of research show that Music training and bilateral brain training reduced dyscalculia symptoms and caused bioelectric activities in brain. Bilateral brain training reduced symptoms of dyscalculia in all of fields. Music training increased intelligence scores.Conclusion: Experimental groups skills in math and Music training group in scores of IQ had show increased. Some methods, such as bilateral brain training and Music training could be used to reduced symptoms of dyscalculia disorder.

This research aims to study the correlation of WISC-R Sub-test with dyscalculia of
the student of second and third grade of primary schools located In the 7 and 8 area
of Tehran.
The groups on the research are the dyscalculia students of girls’ school in 7 and 8
area of Tehran.
The method of the research is random selected method.
When the research done, in order to analyze the data, descriptive statute t- test
comparing the group arrange with the others were used.
In order to gather data, WISC-R was used.
The group sample was homogenized age and sex wise.
The statistical analysis reveals the is a correlation between the students dyscalculia
and IQ of dyscalculia students. It means the students IQ are lower than the IQ of the
others.
There is a correlation between verbal IQ and dyscalculia of dyscalculia students. It
means these students verbal IQ is lower than the verbal IQ of the others. There is a
correlation between non-verbal IQ and dyscalculia of dyscalculia students. It means
the non- verbal IQ of these students is lower than the non-verbal IQ of the others.
The scores of (information sub test, similarities, arithmetic, vocabulary and digit -
span) of dyscalculia students are significantly lower than the average score. The
scores of sub tests (picture completion, picture arrangement, digit symbol, block
design) of dyscalculia students are significantly lower the average score. The
difference between the scores of comprehension and object assembly of dyscalculia
student and the average score is not significant.
Keywords: Dyscalculia, WISC-R sub-test

نقش ریتم های زیستی در فرایند های شناختی

به نام خدا
نقش ریتم های زیستی در فرایند های شناختی
دکتر مهناز استکی (استادیار دانشگاه آزاد واحد تهران مرکز

چکیده:

فعاليت هاي زيستي انسان متاثر از عامل زمان و پديده هاي طبيعي است . موجودات مجهز به مكانيزم ساعت زيستي، جهت پاسخگويي به تغييرات ريتم هاي محيطي هستند فعاليت هاي زيستي در سازمان دهي عملكرد هاي ذهني تاثير به سزايي دارند .پرداختن به تغييرات كارآمدي عملكرد ذهني از نخستين گامهايي است كه جهت بهره وري از توانمندي هاي فرد مي توان از آن سود جست . توجه به تحقيقات گسترده و پرداختن به مبحث ريتم هاي زيستي و رواني به عنوان يكي از اقدامات مهم جهت استفاده از حداكثر توانمندي افراد و ارتقاء كيفيت آموزشي است .
حيات و زندگي به شكل فعاليت دوره اي زيستي است و اين فعاليت ها داراي آهنگ منظمي ميباشند . اين حركت از بزرگترين اصول سازمان دهنده جهان است و سعي در نگهداشتن مجموع عناصر موجود در عالم با يك تعادل نسبي دارد . زمين نيز داراي فعاليت هاي چرخه اي منظمي است كه تناوب شب و روز و فصول را در بر دارد و در تمامي موجودات زنده فعاليتهاي دوره اي ديده ميشود .موجودات زنده مجهز به مكانيزمي به نام ساعت زيستي هستند . اين مكانيزم به موجود در خصوص ارزيابي و پاسخ دهي به ريتم هاي محيطي نوسان دار ياري مي رساند . مشاهدات نشان ميدهد براي يك فرايند خاص زيستي زمان هاي فعاليت متناوبي وجود دارند .براي مثال ضربان قلب ، حركات تنفسي ، تناوب آهنگ خواب و بيداري ،عادات ماهيانه ، گل و ميوه دادن گياهان ،كوچ پرندگان و... از آن جمله است .فعاليت چرخه اي از ويژگي هاي بنيادي موجود زنده است .يافته نشان داده كه توانمندي هاي انسان نيز د ساعات مختلف روز ، هفته ، ماه و فصول تغيير مي يابند. جهت مطالعه چرخه فعاليت ذهني انسان در قلمرو روان شناسي مبحث زمان-روان شناسي بنيان گذاري شد. از آنجا كه فعاليت هاي زيستي با فرايند هاي ذهني ارتباط تنگاتنگ دارند ،تغييرات فعاليت هاي زيستي در فعاليت هاي ذهني تاثير ميگذارند، خصوصا" كارآمدي ذهني را درطول ماه ،هفته و روز تغيير مي دهند تستو (1983) ، زمان روان شناسي را مطالعه تغييرات دورهاي فعاليت هاي ذهني تعريف كرده است .از مهمترين عواملي كه در يادگيري افراد تاثير مي گذارد ، عامل زمان است . شايد بتوان گفت عامل زمان مي تواند تمام عوامل ديگر را تحت تاثير قرار دهد . در فرايند يادگيري آنچه مورد تاكيد است وجود ريتم ها است .
پژوهشی به منظور مقايسه كار آمدي حافظه كوتاه مدت ( ديداري و شنيداري )در ريتم هاي سيركادين دانش آموزان در ساعات مختلف روز با توجه به مبحث زمان-روانشناسی انجام شد. جهت انجام پژوهش با روش نمونه گيري تصادفي خوشه اي چند مرحله اي 104 دانش آموز (52 دختر و 52 پسر )از مدارس دو نوبته مناطق 7و8 تهران انتخاب شدند هر دو جنس به چهار گروه 13 نفره تقسيم و در ساعات مختلف (8،11،16،14) مورد آزمون بینایی حافظه کوتاه مدت وحافظه شنیداری عددی وکسلر قرار گرفتند. نتايج با استفاده از آزمون F تجزيه و تحليل شد و نشان داد :
بين كارآمدي حافظه كوتاه مدت دانش آموزان در ساعات مختلف روز در دو جنس تفاوت معنادار مشاهده گرديدو پسران عملكرد بالاتری نسبت به دختران نشان دادند . كار آمدي حافظه كوتاه مدت ديداري دختران در ساعت16 و پسران در ساعات 8و 11 بالانر از ساعات ديگر بود .بين كار آمدي حافظه كوتاه مدت شنيداري دختران و پسران در ساعات مختلف روز تفاوتي مشاهده نشد
توجه به عواملي چون جنسيت و سن در توزيع فعاليت هاي ذهني حائز اهميت بوده و جهت ايجاد تعادل در توزيع فعاليت هاي ذهني (در زمينه دروس ) بر حسب نوسانات طبيعي كار امدي توانمندي هاي ذهني توجه به اين عوامل ضروري است .مي بايست ساعات حداقل و حداكثر كار آمدي در نظر گرفته شود و برنامه ريزي درسي بر اين اساس صورت پذيرد .همچنين عوامل ديگري از جمله صبحگاهي و شامگاهي بودن ،چرخه خواب و بيداري ، عوامل تغذيه اي و... مورد توجه قرار گيرد .
