This research aims to study the effectiveness of neurofeedback in combining cognitive games on improving cognitive flexibility in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. For this purpose, 20 male students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were randomaly selected by purposive sampling in two experimental groups and control. The experimental group received neurofeedback training in combination with cognitive games three times a week for 20 one-hour sessions and the control group did not receive any intervention.The research instruments were diagnostic Scale of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adult Children (Parent Form and Teacher Form, 1960), Wisconsin Card Sorting (1948). Data were analyzed by SPSS software using covariance analysis. Data analysis with analysis of covariance test shows changes in participants' scores from pre-test to post-test. Neurofeedback training in combination with cognitive games has improved cognitive flexibility in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (P <0.05). The average effect of 20 sessions of neurofeedback training in combination with cognitive games on improving cognitive flexibility was 31.6%.According to the findings, neurofeedback in combination with cognitive games can improve cognitive flexibility in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

This research aims to study the effectiveness of neurofeedback with cognitive games on reducing conduct problems of children with attention deficit and hyperactivity. . The research method was quasiexperimental with a pretest-posttest design with the control group. For this purpose, 20 male students with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity were randomly assigned by purposeful sampling in a experimental group (Mage=10.2, SD= 03.03) and a control group (Mage=9.2, SD= 0.91). All subjects were evaluated in two stages (pre-test and post-test) before and after the therapy via scale of ADHDAdult Converge Children (Parent Form and Teacher's Form). The experimental group was evaluated to determine the treatment protocol for each individual by quantitative Electroencephalographic (QEEG). Data analysis with covariance analysis indicated that participants' scores change from pre-test to post-test in a way that neurofeedback training combined with cognitive games improves the behavioral problems of children with attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity (P<0.01). This study showed that the average effect size of 20 sessions of neurofeedback training in combination with cognitive games on reducing behavioral problems was 37%.
