en Comparison of Executive Function in Nonverbal Learning Disorders عمومى General پژوهشي Research This study was designed to examine the existence of deficits of executive function (EF) in children with nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD).Methods: 20 NVLD students (8 boys and 12 girls) from Tehran, Iran, aged 11 to 14 years (M = 12.7 years, SD = 1.11). The Normal student comparison group consisted of 20 normal students (9 boys and 11 girls), aged 11 to 14 years (M = 11.10 years, SD = 2.1). For assessing NVLD we used the original Wechsler Intelligence Scale (Wechsler, 1949) and EF. The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), developed by Goya et al. (1996), was used to measure EF in both groupsResults: Children with NVLD were less able to recognize the ability to focus, shift, and memorize, organize information and distribute attention. Despite the differences in the development of executive functions, they were robust and virtually identical across the two samples. Conclusion: EF deficits were more broadly defined in nonverbal learning disorder students. The results of this research should help parents and educators understand the learning that students provide outreach services to increase executive functions nonverbal learning disability, executive function 28 44 http://ijpb.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-39-94&slc_lang=en&sid=1 mohammad sakineh soltani kohbanani nevisandeh election دکتر سکینه سلطانی کوهبنانی نویسنده مسیول 1003194753284600731 1003194753284600731 No department of psychology assistant of ilam sience and research branch, islamic azad university. ilam department of psychology assistant of ilam sience and research branch, islamic azad university. ilam sajedeh soltani kohbanani ساجده سلطانی کوهبنانی 1003194753284600732 1003194753284600732 No student of medical semnan university. iran. semnan student of medical semnan university. iran. semnan
