The 30 students with learning disability were selected by means of convenience sampling (15 students in experimental group and 15 students in control group). The experimental group underwent a 10 session's cognitive inhibition training. All the participants were assessed through Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.

Result: Results showed a significant difference between experimental and control groups in Number of Categories (P= 0/001) also significant difference between experimental and control groups in Perseverative Errors (p= 0/05). Conclusion: According to these results, cognitive inhibition training have a positive effect on flexibility performance. Keywords: executive functions, cognitive inhibition, mental flexibility, learning disability |
