Abstract :
The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the performance of cognitive profile functions in children with attention Deficit/hyperactivity disorder and special learning disorder. The statistical population of this descriptive and comparative causal research is all male students (ages 8-12 years old) who were studying in Tabriz city (1399-1400) and by using the purposeful sampling method, 30 students for Each group was selected. The research tools were cognitive flexibility (CFI), sensory processing (SPM), child and adolescent emotional regulation (ERQ-CA) and working memory questionnaires by Daneman and Carpenter. In order to analyze the data, descriptive indices and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the performance of the studied groups and their subscales (F=263.946, P<0.001). Although children with hyperactivity showed a weaker performance in the general scales of cognitive flexibility, sensory processing and emotional regulation of re-evaluation, on the other hand, children with learning disorders also showed an obvious weakness in the general variable of working memory and They showed suppressed emotional regulation. These results have provided important implications in the field of effective therapeutic interventions and correct selection of training and rehabilitation programs to improve executive functions.
