| description | The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of perceptual motor games on
attention problems, ability and speed of cognitive processing and visual-spatial of
educable mentally retarded girls. The study was a quasi-experiment. The research
design included pre-test and post-test with control group with independent
variable. The statistical population included educable mentally retarded girls.
Thirty participants were randomly selected from the girls of exceptional schools
in Tabriz and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The
research measurement tool was the Connors Child and Adolescent Psychological
Questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was reported to be 0.79 by
Cronbach’s alpha method.Reading performance test and spatio-visual performance
test were performed for both groups as a pre-test. Perceptual motor game
training sessions were performed in 16 sessions of 45 minutes for 8 weeks for
the experimental group. Inferential statistics of covariance analysis were used for
groups’ comparison using SPSS21 software at significant level of 0.05. The results
showed that perceptual motor games had a significant positive effect in reducing
the attention problems, improving the ability and speed of cognitive processing
and improving visual-spatial performance in educable mental retarded girls. |
