Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Brain Stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on improving impulsivity in children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.
Materials and Methods: The current research design was quesi-experiment with pre-test-post-test and control group. 60 children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly replaced in three groups: experiment 1, experiment 2, and control (20 people in each group). Data were collected using Connors Parent Rating Scale (1978), Raven's Progressive Matrices Test (2000) Test and Barrett's impulsivity questionnaire (1995). The subjects of the first experimental group received Transcranial Direct Current Brain Stimulation (tDCS) and second experimental group also received Captain Log's rehabilitation intervention. The control group did not receive any intervention.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the groups impulsivity (P<0.05). The experimental groups of transcranial direct current brain stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation had lower impulsivity compared to the control group. Also, by controlling the effect of the pre-test in the two experimental groups, there is significant difference between the two methods of transcranial direct current brain stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, it can be said that the intervention of transcranial direct current brain stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation was effective in improving the impulsivity in children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. Therefore, both interventions can be used to improve the impulsivity in children with attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.

Introduction: Women's health is the basis of family and community health. Previous studies showed that one of the factors that leads to the promotion of women's general health is the level of different cognitive and emotional skills. The aim of this study was to compare the acceptance and commitment based therapy and cognitive rehabilitation of working memory and their integration on depressed girls' general health.
Materials and Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up stages with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all girls referred to psychological centers in Sabzevar in 2019 that of these clients 60 people were randomly selected and divided into 3 experimental groups and 1 control group. Participants in the first intervention group underwent 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy, the second one underwent 10 sessions of cognitive rehabilitation of working memory and the third group underwent 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy and 10 sessions of cognitive rehabilitation of working memory.
Results: The results of the present study showed that there was a significant difference (p=0/001) between the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive rehabilitation of working memory and the combination of these two methods.
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the combination of two methods was more effective than acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive rehabilitation by itself.
