چکیده

Background and Aim : Attention is defined as a set of complex cognitive processes that includes focusing on a goal or working on it, maintaining or sustaining information, and staying vigilant for a long period of time, and encoding the characteristics of a stimulus, as well as shifting focus from one goal to another (Seidman & et al, 2006). Children with Intellectual Disabilities demonstrate attention below competence capacities for typically developing children. Debates concerning music training’s impact on general cognitive and perceptual abilities among children. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of rhythmic exercises with music on attention among mentally retarded childrenMethods : For this purpose, a semi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test design with two experimental and control groups was used. The research sample included 30 students educable mentally retarded children, aged 7-11 years old, experimental group=15 and control group=15. For evaluation of attention was used to Toulouse-Pieron attention test. In order to analyze the data was used the mix ANOVA (2×2) at the significance level of 0.05 to examine the differences between the two groups in the pre-test and post-test.Results : The results of mix analysis of variance showed that rhythmic exercise with music (experimental group) had positive and significant effects on attention (P=.033) among educable mentally retarded children. When the pre-training and post-training parameters were compared between the groups, an increase was determined in the parameters of attention. As a result; rhythmic exercises combined with music were found to be effective in faculty of attention among mentally retarded children.Conclusion : Findings of this study clearly indicate that rhythmic exercises with music have an important effect on the attention as one factor of cognitive development among mentally retarded children. Given these common mechanisms, rhythmic exercises with music may be useful for promoting the cognitive development and for improving the efficacy of remedial attempts for individuals with mentally retarded children.
