Abstract
Background: Dyslexic students have the greatest weakness in their executive functions, including working memory, attention, information processing, cognitive flexibility, and response inhibition. Cognitive rehabilitation improves the individual's lost cognitive capacities by affecting brain function and is effective on various cognitive domains, including memory, attention, executive functions, and reading skills.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to systematically review cognitive rehabilitation interventions on improving executive functions and reading skills of dyslexic students to highlight the characteristics of the most valid interventions and guide future research.
Method: The present study was a systematic review. The results of this study were obtained based on research articles published in Persian. In this study, all articles published in the period (April 2014 to August 2015) were selected through a search in Persian databases including SID, Ensani, Magiran, and Google Scholar. The search for Persian articles was determined by a strategy, in which in the first step, all articles that had the keywords mentioned in their title or abstract, or were similar or related to the topic, were extracted; in this step, the keywords (dyslexia or reading disorder or reading disorders or dyslexia or dyslexia or reading problems or reading disability) and (cognitive rehabilitation or cognitive interventions or cognitive exercises or cognitive training) were searched in combination in the advanced search section of the database. In this step, 603 Persian articles were collected. In the second step, 455 duplicate articles and then 118 articles that did not meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were removed. In this section, 30 Persian articles were collected.
Findings: The results showed that cognitive rehabilitation interventions using targeted exercises based on the principles of brain neuroplasticity have a significant impact on improving various cognitive aspects such as attention, memory, executive functions, and reading skills including reading words, nonwords, word sequences, reading comprehension, spelling, and visual-phonological processing, improving overall reading performance, and reducing dyslexia symptoms. Research showed that cognitive rehabilitation, whether computerized or noncomputerized, can be effective in improving executive function problems and reading skills in dyslexic students. Also, computerized cognitive rehabilitation is more effective than noncomputerized methods.
