Introduction: Cognitive rehabilitation has an effect on the improvement of symptoms of dyscalculia disorder such as executive function and quantitative reasoning and affects other children's functions.
Aim: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-computer software on the executive function and quantitative reasoning of 7-12-year-old children with dyscalculia.
Method: It was a semi-experimental research design of pre-test-post-test and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population included all children with dyscalculia in Isfahan city in 2022-2023. 45 children with dyscalculia disorder were selected by purposeful sampling and placed in two control and experimental groups.. For the experimental group, Captain Log (2020) cognitive-computer training program was implemented in 10 sessions of 60 minutes; But the control group did not receive any intervention. The research tools included the fifth version of Wechsler's intelligence scale (Wechsler, 2014), continuous performance computer test (Rosold, 1956), Wisconsin card sorting test (Grant and Berg, 1948), Tower of London test (Challice, 1982). The data obtained from the research were analyzed with SPSS software version 26 and using the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements.
Results: The results showed that Captain Log computer cognitive software had a significant effect on executive function (attention, error elimination and correct answer, problem solving and cognitive flexibility) (p<0.001), but on Quantitative reasoning had no significant effect (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that the cognitive rehabilitation of Captain Log's cognitive-computer program can be used as an efficient method to improve the cognitive ability of 7-12-year-old children with dyscalculia.
