Effectiveness of working memory training, Barkley’s parent training program, and combination of these two interventions on improvement of working memory in children with ADHD

Protocol summary

Summary
Goals: The aim of the current study was to examine effectiveness of working memory training, Barkley’s parent training program, and combination of these two interventions on improvement of executive functions and decrease of clinical symptoms in children with ADHD. Method: To do so, 36 participants with ADHD (aged between 6 to 12 years), from special clinic of Ebn e Sina hospital were selected by available sampling method. SNAP–IV, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and clinical interview, were used for diagnosis of ADHD; then the participants were randomly assigned to the three interventions groups of working memory training, parent training program and combination of these two interventions. Functions of participants were assessed by SNAP–IV, CBCL, Continuous performance test, Tower of London, Color- word Stroop test, Benton revised visual retention test, Rey copy and reproduction complex figure test, Wechsler intelligence scale for children-fourth edition (WISC- IV), Go – no –go test, and Wechsler memory test. For working memory training WMT software, and for parent training program, Barkley’s model, were used. Findings: Results of MANCOVA tests and multiple comparison tests demonstrated that combination treatment (working memory training/parent training program) were more effective than each of them in improving executive functions and decrease of clinical symptoms in children with ADHD.
