Prospective memory is an important precursor for independent living adolescents. This study aims to the role of theory of mind, episodic future thinking and creativity in predicting the event-based and time-based prospective memory of the Adolescents. This study was conducted in the form of a correlation pattern. The study population consists of high school students in Azarshahr city in the academic year 2014-2015. In this study, 100 students with a mean age of 16.02 year were selected by multistage cluster sampling. Prospective memory testing, Reading the mind in the eyes test, Autobiographical task and Torrance tests of creativity was used in order to collect data. Then, data were analyzed by Pearson correlations and multi-variable regression. The results showed that theory of mind, episodic future thinking and creativity could predict the event-based and time-based prospective memory. As a result, we can say that theory of mind, episodic future thinking and creativity operates as an underlying mechanism in the improvement of prospective memory.

The present study aimed to compare the adolescents with internalizing problems and non-clinical adolescents with respect to their episodic future thinking (EFT) and working memory (WM). Furthermore, this study examined the role of WM in the prediction of EFT.
This cross-sectional study encompassed a population of female students studying in third grade in Azarshahr Girl’s High Schools (East Azerbaijan Province) in the academic year of 2015-2016. Using multistage cluster sampling method, 40 adolescents with internalizing problems and 42 non-clinical adolescents were selected. The participants were asked to fill out the autobiographical and WM tasks and depression, anxiety, and stress scale. The study hypotheses were tested using multivariate analysis of variance test (MANOVA) and the multiple regression analysis by SPSS V. 22 at P The results showed a significant difference between the two groups regarding WM and subscales of future specificity and future details (P The EFT impairment and WM deficits are associated with internalizing problems. Thus, internalizing problems are associated with cognitive dysfunction

Episodic future thinking refers to the capacity to imagine experiences that might happen in one's personal future can be affected by anxiety and depression.
Aim: The present study was aimed to compare the Episodic Future Thinking in Individuals with Depression and Anxiety Symptoms and Normal Individuals.
The research design was causal-comparative. The study population consists of high school students in Langroud city in the academic year 1394-95. In this study, 90 students with a mean age of 16.61 year were selected by multistage cluster sampling. In order to collect information were used from the Episodic Future Thinking task and the Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory. Then, the data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and the post-hoc test.
Results of ANOVA and HSD indicate that group with depression symptoms and normal individuals represent significantly different in plausibility and arousal negative index. Also, there were significant differences in the arousal negative index, details positive index, details neutral index between normal and anxiety Symptoms groups. In addition, there were significant differences in the plausibility and details neutral index between normal and depression Symptoms groups.
As a result, it may be said that depression and anxiety symptoms leading to changes in episodic future thinking indexes

Contovir is a mixture of herbal extracts (Tanacetum vulgare, Rossa canina, Urtica dioica) that is supplemented with selenium.
This study aimed to add Contovir to the classic treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) in order to decrease the severity and extent of the disease, elongate the surgical intervals and improve the sense of patient well-being. Furthermore, we had to adjust the prescribed drug dosage, since there were no previous findings available.
Patients and This is a case study of RRP patients treated with Contovir as an adjuvant to the classic treatment, from March 2011 to February 2013, at an academic tertiary hospital (Rasoul-e-Akram hospital). All patients underwent surgical removal of papilloma and then were prescribed Contovir. Disease severity was quantified based on Derkay’s staging system.
Eight patients were enrolled in this study. The extent and severity of the disease improved in six cases. One had no response, and the severity of disease increased in one patient. Patients with supraglottic lesions had better responses to Contovir adjuvant therapy. No immediate or long-term side effects were reported.
Although Contovir has been found to be an advantageous adjuvant for RRP treatment, further studies are called for to verify these findings.

The relationship between cognition and emotion has always been of interest for researchers. Although each area is considered to be separate, but they interact with each other.
Therefore, this study aims to investigate the induced impact of the emotions of shame and guilt on working memory performance.
This study was quasi-experimental in which pretest-posttest design has been used. The population in this study includes all the female college students at Azerbaijan Shahid Madani University in 2014-2015 academic year. Firstly, 100 students between 19-23age groups were selected by convenient sampling to complete demographic questionnaire and to do the dual paper-pencil task for the evaluation of the working memory performance. Then , a group of 96 students was matched in three groups of the emotion of shame (N = 32), emotion of guilt (N = 32) and neutral group (N = 32) based on age and working memory performance. Afterwards, participants were asked to carry out the task of recalling emotional memories and dual paper-and-pencil task. The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software, the descriptive statistics and analysis of covariance.
The results obtained through the use of covariance method showed that after modifying the pre-test scores, the emotions of shame and guilt significantly affected the individual`s working memory(F= 4/95¡ p Based on these Results, we can conclude that emotions affect working memory performance, and exposure to negative emotional memories (shame and guilt) interfere with working memory.

Being bilingual from the beginning of life affects cognitive functions including working memory and inhibitory functions of the frontal lobe.
Thus, the aim of this study is to compare verbal working memory and inhibitory function of frontal lobe in the young bilingual and monolingual.
The method of research was causal-comparative. The Sample of this study included female college students who was bilingual(Azeri language- Persian language) and monolingual(Persian language) at Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University during 2014- 2015. For this purpose, 30 female bilingual students and 30 female monolingual students from whom were selected by convenience sampling method. Computerized test was used for collecting data to measure in this study. To measure the inhibitory function of the frontal lobe we have used the Stroop task, and computer software was used to measure working memory task from laboratory cognitive psychology. The gathered data were analyzed by SPSS 22 software. Descriptive statistics and data were analyzed by using t student.
The results showed that verbal working memory performance in young bilinguals and monolinguals was not significantly different(p Based on these Results, we can conclude that Bilingualism does not increase verbal working memory performance. On the other hand, bilingualism enhances the performance of bilingual people in the inhibitory function of frontal lobe; in fact, bilinguals perform duties related to executive function inhibition better than monolinguals.

Prospective memory is an important precursor for independent living adolescents and can dependent on other executive functions.
To this end, this study aims to investigate the role of executive functions (working memory and inhibition) in predicting the event- based and time-based prospective memory of the adolescents.
This study was conducted in the form of a correlation pattern. The study population consists of high school students in Azarshahr city in the academic year 1393-94. In this study, 150 students (male=67 and female=83) with a mean age of 16.5 year were selected by multistage cluster sampling. Prospective memory testing, working memory and continuous performance testing was used in order to collect data. Then, data were analyzed by Pearson correlations and multi-variable regression.
The results showed that the executive functions (working memory and inhibition) with a correlation coefficient of about 0/52 could define 0/27 percentage changes of event- based prospective memory and with a correlation coefficient 0/37 could only define 0/13 percentage changes related to time-based prospective memory. Meanwhile, only working memory and standard deviation of reaction time of visual continuous performance testing could predict event- based prospective memory positively. Furthermore, only working memory could predict time-based prospective memory.
As a result, we can say that working memory operates as an underlying mechanism in the improvement of prospective memory.

Much effort has been made to explain theoretically the impact of anxiety on cognitive functions, one of these theories is attentional control theory. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of working memory in two groups of normal and anxiety students according to the attentional control theory.

Method of research was causal-comparative. the statistical society was female student dormitory of azarbaijan shahid madani university in 2013- 2014 , which were selected using convenience sampling . 178 students first completed the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. After scoring a total of 67 students from 25 high percentage of distribution (people with high trait and state anxiety) and 25 percent lower distribution (those with low trait and state anxiety) were selected and divided into two groups of high anxiety and low anxiety.

The results showed that there were significant differences between two groups of high anxiety and low anxiety(p

Based on these Results, we can conclude that anxiety has significant effects on students working memory performance.
