Background: Students with dyslexia face significant challenges in executive functions, such as working memory, attention, information processing, cognitive flexibility, and response inhibition. Cognitive rehabilitation improves brain performance, helps regain lost cognitive abilities, and positively impacts areas like memory, attention, executive functions, and reading skills.
Aim: The purpose of the current study was to systematically review cognitive rehabilitation interventions on the improvement of executive functions and reading skills in students with dyslexia, to emphasize the features of the most reliable interventions and provide direction for future studies.
Method: The current study is a systematic review. The findings were based on research articles published in Persian. All articles published between March 2014 and August 2024 were selected through a search in Persian databases such as SID, Ensani, Magiran, and Google Scholar. The search strategy involved extracting articles whose titles or abstracts contained the specified keywords or related terms. The advanced search used a combination of keywords, including "dyslexia," "reading disorder," or "reading difficulties," along with "cognitive rehabilitation," "cognitive interventions," or "cognitive training." This resulted in a collection of 603 Persian articles. In the next step, 455 duplicate articles were removed, and 118 articles that did not meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were discarded. In the end, 30 Persian articles were included in the review.
Results: The findings revealed that cognitive rehabilitation interventions, utilizing targeted exercises based on the principles of brain neuroplasticity, have a considerable effect on improving various cognitive functions such as attention, memory, executive functions, and reading skills, including word reading, non-words, word chains, reading comprehension, spelling, and visual-phonological processing. These interventions also contribute to overall reading performance and a reduction in the symptoms of dyslexia. Research has shown that cognitive rehabilitation, whether computer-based or non-computer-based, can effectively improve executive function problems and reading skills in dyslexic students. Additionally, computer-based cognitive rehabilitation is more effective than non-computer-based methods.
Conclusions: In conclusion, based on the effectiveness of both computer-based and non-computer-based cognitive rehabilitation in improving executive functions and reading skills in dyslexic students, it is recommended that specialists, psychologists, and counselors in the field of learning disorders, and education officials and counseling centers, focus on the practical application of cognitive rehabilitation in its various forms to enhance the learning process and academic outcomes of these students.
