Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome variables of this study are working memory and processing speed.Working memory will be assessed using relevant subtests from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC).Processing speed will also be measured using the appropriate subtests from the same scale.These two variables serve as the main cognitive performance indicators in children with mathematics disorder, and will be evaluated before and after the intervention in both groups. Timepoint: The primary outcome variables will be measured at two time points:Before the start of the intervention (baseline assessment)After completion of the intervention sessions (post-test assessment). Method of measurement: To assess working memory, subtests related to Working Memory from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition (WISC-V) will be used.To evaluate processing speed, the Coding and Symbol Search subtests from the WISC-V will be utilized.These tools are standardized, validated, and reliable for assessing cognitive performance in children. | — |
