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.

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.

Background & Objectives: Multiple sclerosis is one of the neuro-cognitive disorders that make a lot of cognitive and behavioral effects. This study was aimed to compare executive function and life orientation in multiple sclerosis patients and healthy people. Methods: This study was descriptive and causal-comparative. Among all of the patients referred to Multiple Sclerosis Society of Iran, 100 patients with multiple sclerosis, at least 5 years of their disease passing, were chosen by sample randomization. For the comparison group, among relatives of patients with multiple sclerosis and multiple sclerosis society staff, 100 people were matched in terms of age, sex, education, occupation and marital status. Data was obtained by using executive function questionnaire (Nejati, 2013) and life orientation questionnaire (Scheier and Carver, 1985) and analyzed by T-test and MANOVA. Results: Healthy people have higher average in the scales of executive functions and life orientation, compared to patients with multiple sclerosis. There is a significant different between these groups (p>0/05). Conclusion: Results showed that patients with multiple sclerosis compared to healthy people are of a lower position in the scales of executive functions. Life orientation scores in multiple sclerosis patients was lower than healthy people, and their attitude is toward the negative direction and pessimistic. According to the results, there is a need to pay more serious attention from specialists about intervention in the problems of this group
