Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Cognitive abilities and Weakness in math problem- solving. Timepoint: Brain wave recording is started with two baselines from the beginning and is done once after both treatment sessions. But Wechsler test and student math scores are taken only at the beginning and end of the study. Method of measurement: The Wechsler Fourth Edition Scale will be used to measure cognitive abilities using verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed, and total intelligence scales. To check for changes in math score, math scores from the previous semester and the new semester will be reviewed. To measure the changes of alpha, theta and beta 3 waves at points P3-P4, brain wave recording will be used by recording the EEQ waves of the neurofeedback device.
