Introduction. The present study compares the performance of executive function, reaction time, response inhibition,
sustained attention and working memory in children with learning disorder and normal counterparts .
Materials and Methods. The sample consisted of 30 children with learning disorder and 30 Normal children 8 old
who had a random sampling method in Ahvaz were selected of two sites 1 and 2. To measure research variables from
these skills TOVA (as a continuous performance test) and memory subscales in Intelligence Wechsler were used. For
analyzing the data multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used.
Results. The results showed that children with learning disabilities than children with normal lower performance on
response inhibition and sustained attention and working memory. Significant differences were found between the two
groups. Also in terms of reaction time, there was no significant difference between both groups.
Conclusion. According to the findings it seems that lead to problems of poor decision making and lack of good
judgment, problems with innovation and change, distractibility and problems on various aspects of memory.
