This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of child-centered neuropsychological intervention and Spark perceptual-motor exercises on executive functions and attention deficit in preschool children with brain development delay. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test comparison design and a one-month follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all children aged 4 to 5 years with Brain Development Delay in Mehr clinic, Tehran, in 2023-2024. The sample size of the research was 36 people who were selected by available sampling method and were randomly placed in three groups. Child-centered neuropsychological intervention and SPARK perceptual-motor exercises were performed in 16 sessions, twice a week for the first and second experimental groups. The research data were collected using the preschool version of the Executive Function Behavioral Rating Questionnaire-Parent Form (BRIEF-P, Gioia et al, 2003) and Connors Behavioral Problems Scale (CPRS, Connors, 1978) and using the analysis of variance statistical test with repeated measurements and Bonferroni's post hoc test was analyzed. The findings showed that child-centered neuropsychological intervention and Spark perceptual-motor exercises have a significant effect on executive functions and attention deficit (p<0.05). No significant difference was observed between the effectiveness of child-centered neuropsychological intervention and Spark perceptual-motor exercises (p>0.05); Therefore, child-centered neuropsychological intervention and Spark perceptual -motor exercises can be used to improve the executive functions and attention deficit of preschool children with brain development delay.
