Abstract
Introduction : Selective attention refers to the processes that allow an individual to select and focus on particular input for further processing while simultaneously suppressing irrelevant or distracting information. Short-term memory is the capacity for holding a small amount of information in an active, readily available state for a short interval. For example, short-term memory holds a phone number that has just been recited. The duration of short-term memory (absent rehearsal or active maintenance) is estimated to be on the order of seconds. The commonly cited capacity of 7 items, found in Miller's Law, has been superseded by 4±1 items. In contrast, long-term memory holds information indefinitely.
Short-term memory is not the same as working memory, which refers to structures and processes used for temporarily storing and manipulating information.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selected perceptual motor programs on selective attention and short-term memory in slow-learning children
Materials and Methods: In this study the short-term memory, subtest of the Wechsler figures and to measure the attention of slow-learning students children the color- word of Stroop test was used. After participating in the pre-test ,subjects of experimental group for eight weeks and 3 sessions week and 45 minutes per sessions carried out the protocol of perceptual motor program,and after the end of sessions attention and memory tests were examined again.
Results: perceptual-motor programs has a significant effect on short-term memory and attention of slow-learning students .
Conclusion : These programs can be use along with organized education of slow-learning children.
