Objective: Major depressive disorder is concomitant with cognitive deficits and executive function. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness therapeutic reconsolidation process model on on executive functions, neuroplasticity and schemas associated with majordepressive disorder in veterans over 25% of nerves.
Materials and methods: The study method was semi-experimental in the form of pre-test, post-test and 45-day follow-up. Among the 50 nerves veterans above 25%, who had a history of being admitted to Niayesh Hospital in Tehran, 40 people were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups and underwent intervention for 12 sessions of 90 minutes once a week for 3 months. The research tools were: Beck Depression Questionnaire (1996), Leahy Emotional Schemas (2002), Wisconsin Cards (2008), Stroop Color Test (1935) and Dennis Vanderwaal's Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire (2010). Data were analyzed using 24spss software.
Findings: The results of mixed variance analysis with repeated measurement showed that the training of the is thetherapeutic Reconsolidation Process model was significantly effective on the executive functions, neuroplasticity and emotional schemas of the sample people. This result also lasted in the follow-up phase (P<0.05).
Results: the effectiveness therapeutic reconsolidation process model was able to improve executive function, increase neuroplasticity and Compatible emotional schemas and maladaptive schemas in veterans over 25% of nerves by correcting traumatic memory and reducing depressive symptoms.

Introduction: It is hard to ignore attractive people. Paying attention to attractive individuals is a criterion that can estimate further motivation to make extramarital relationships. This whitethorn a threat to the stability of the marital relationship. The present study aimed to investigate the role of motivational and cognitive structure in the temptation to pay attention and communicate with attractive alternatives in married individuals.
Materials and Methods: With an available sampling method, the statistical population of the present study has consisted of married men and women who completed research questionnaires in an online design. That is, two hundred individuals met the research criteria and completed the questionnaires and the results were based on hierarchical multiple regression.
Results: The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that among the covariate variables, gender was able to predict extramarital relationships. However, men were more inclined than women to be tempted by attractive alternatives and engage in extramarital affairs. In addition, the variables such as memory, inhibitory control, planning, and adaptive motivation provided a significant prediction of the temptation variable of extramarital relationships.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it appears that improving cognitive abilities (e.g., executive functions) and motivational structure, improve the degree of resistance to the temptations to make extramarital relationships with attractive alternatives.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the executive functions (EF) such as: organizing, planning and inhibition and theory of mind (ToM) in students with math disorder (MD) and ordinary students and surveying the relationship between EF and ToM.
Method: The present study was a cross-sectional analysis. The statistical sample composed of the boys and girls students of primary schools in Tehran in 2012. Twenty ordinary elementary students (7/2=m age) with Twenty mathematics disorder elementary students were chosen which are based on the criteria of American Psychiatric Association. Then their executive functions and theory of mind were analyzed, and the results were compared. For gathering data neurological and psychological tests, standard diagnostic test with coolige (2002) and test of intelligence Raven and theory of mind are used. The data were analyzed with independent t test and Pearson correlation with Spss software (version11).
Result: Executive function performance in mathematics disorder students had difference with ordinary students in organizing (t=2/42), determination - planning (t=2/61) and inhibition (t=2/10). Students with mathematics disorder were weaker than ordinary students in emotional recognition (t=2/61), understanding wrong belief (t=2/21) and understanding joke (t=2/09). The test of executive function and theory of mind had a high correlation (r=+ 0/61).
Conclusion: This study shows that students with mathematics disorder compared with normal students have problems in executive functions and theory of mind.
