Abstract

Background and Purpose: Attention span, as the most important cognitive function that plays a decisive role in learning, memory and perception, is impaired in children with intellectual disabilities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of problem-solving training on the Attention span of students with Down syndrome. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest-follow-up and a control group design. The statistical population included all students with Down syndrome in Kermanshah in the academic year 2021-2022,30 people were selected by the purposive sampling method and were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=15). The problemsolving training program was presented to the experimental group during 15 one-hour sessions once a week for 15 weeks. The data collection tool was the Rosvold, s continuous performance test. Data were analyzed using mixed repeated measures in the SPSS-24 software. Results: Analysis of the data revealed a significant difference between the pre-and post-test scores on the attention domain subscales (P ≥,0. 05), but no significant difference between the posttestfollow-up scores (P>0. 05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that problem-solving education improves the attention of students with Down syndrome,therefore, it is crucial to use this method as an effective cognitive program when educating children with Down syndrome. The implications of the results are discussed in this article.
