Evaluation of the effectiveness and comparison of two educational methods (modulation of cognitive bias and mental imagery) on students' visual and verbal memory and explanation of a learning model.
Design
This study will have a control group with parallel randomized one-way blind groups (by rand function) that will be designed and performed on 45 first period high school students in Yazd.
Settings and conduct
In this study, 4 schools will be selected by cluster sampling method from the first period high schools in Yazd .
will be applied one-blind blindness (students).
The place of research for schools is the place where students study .
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The study sample will be selected from the first period high school girls in Yazd who are over 15 years old and are studying in one of the first period high schools in Yazd in the academic year 1399-1400.
Intervention groups
The study is an experimental type with pre-test and post-test design and control group. The subjects will be randomly replaced in two experimental groups (cognitive bias modification and mental imagery) and one control group. The experimental groups will be exposed to different trainings in 8 sessions, while the control group will remain without any intervention.
Main outcome variables
In this study, students will be exposed to two new learning methods (mental imagery and modulation of cognitive bias) that will strengthen and enhance the function of visual memory and verbal memory and enhance learning and increase their educational and laboratory efficiency.

Intervention groups
1
Description
The first intervention group will be called the cognitive bias adjustment training group. This group includes 15 students from a school in Yazd (Mohammad Rasoolullah High School) which was selected by random selection. This research will be designed and implemented with a pre-test-post-test design. In order to measure students' visual and verbal memory and receive pre-test information from the subjects, will be performed Wechsler memory test (Form A).Then Subjects will be exposed to 8 sessions of training on how to moderate cognitive bias with the help of incomplete Matthew and Macintosh scenarios. At the end of the training, in order to receive the post-test results, the subjects will be tested for Wechsler Memory Test (Form A) again , and at the end, the pre-test and post-test results data will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
