The Effectiveness of Parent based Metacognitive Executive Functions Training on Behavioral Symptoms and Cognitive Functions of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background and Purpose: Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience many problems in executive functions which later may result in numerous negative consequences in different dimensions. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of parent based metacognitive executive functions training on behavioral symptoms and cognitive functions of children with ADHD. Method: This study was quasi-experimental in the methodology with a control group pretest-posttest design. The population included all the 1 st to 3 rd grade primary school students aged 7 to 10 in Tehran in the academic year 2018-2019. Among them, 40 students together with their mothers were selected by purposive sampling and then randomly divided into the two groups, the experimental and the control group. Mothers of the experimental group received twelve 2-hour sessions of metacognitive executive functions training whereas the mothers in control group (n=20) were placed in the waiting list. SNAP-IV Rating Scale (Swanson, Nolan and Pelham, 1983) and CNS Vital Signs Neurocognitive Assessment (Gualtieri & Johnson, 2006) were used to gather the data. Then, data were analyzed by Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results: Results showed that metacognitive executive functions training was significantly effective in decreasing the behavioral symptoms (F=24.782) and increasing the cognitive functions (working memory: F=32.130 and cognitive flexibility: F=6.053) of children with ADHD. Conclusion: By using game based activities structurally managed by the parents, this therapeutic method targets dimension of executive functions which are important in the management of cognition and behavior; hence it can improve the cognitive and behavioral symptoms in children with ADHD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
