Summary

Working memory deficiencies, might make it difficult for students to recall instructions, complete complex activities, and grasp and follow directions solving a math problem or writing a sentence. The functions of working memory are critical for effective human activity. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has grown in popularity and academic interest in recent years as a way to improve cognitive abilities. so there is need to determine the effect of tdcs on working memory in college going students.

Conditions

  • Working Memory Deficits

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

Transcranial direct current stimulation will use to deliver a constant direct current through two surface electrodes, Anodal stimulation was applied according to the 10-20 international system for EEG electrode placement, over F3 of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), while the cathode was placed over the contralateral supraorbital area for 20 min, on alternate days for 2 weeks 6 sessions with working memory training task. the anode (positive) and the cathode (negative). To reduce resistance and minimize discomfort during application (the electrodes were covered in 35 cm2, saline-soaked sponges
