Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to explore The effectiveness of a Metamemory Program Using Multimedia in Improving the Phonological Working Memory and Cognitive Flexibility of Female Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity. It also attempts to identify the continuity of its effect on the Female Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity a month after the post measurement. The two researchers have applied the semi-experimental approach to a sample of 8 primary stage Female Students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity, whose ages range from 7 to 11 years, with an average of (11, 51) and a standard deviation (0, 229); and whose rate of intelligence ranges from 104 to 109, with an average of (106, 75) and a standard deviation (1.832). The two researchers have used the following tools:(Arab Stanford Beinei Measure of Intelligence, arabicized by Hannoura, 2001; the Phonological Working Memory Test, and the Cognitive Flexibility Test, prepared by the two researchers). The training program involves 20 sessions, three sessions per week, 50 minutes for each session. To check the findings and verify the validity of the hypotheses, Manwhitney's Test and Welcokson's Test were used. The findings reveal statistical differences between the students' grades of the experimental and control groups regarding their performance on the Phonological Working Memory Test, the cognitive Flexibility Test, and the post measurement total grade in favor of the experimental group. They also reveal no statistical differences between the grades of the experimental group regarding their performance on the Phonological Working Memory Test, the cognitive Flexibility Test, and the post and successive measurement total grade.
