Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the cognitive rehabilitation program on prospective and retrospective memory in students with hearing impairment. The present research was a semi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test design and control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of students with hearing impairment in Isfahan city. The participants were 26 girl students with hearing impairment from Mir Deaf School using convenient sampling method. They were divided into experimental and control groups, each group consisting of 13 children. The experimental group received cognitive rehabilitation program in 10 sessions (two sessions weekly; each lasts for 50 minutes), while the control group did not participate in this program and kept in a waiting-list. The instrument was Crawford, Smith, Maylor, Della Sala and Logie Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results revealed that there was a significant increase in the mean prospective and retrospective memory scores of the experimental group post-intervention in comparison with the control group. The cognitive rehabilitation program improved prospective and retrospective memory of students with hearing impairment. So, planning for providing of cognitive rehabilitation program for them has particular importance.
