Abstract
Introduction: Executive functions control, direct and coordinate cognitive processes. The purpose of the current research is to determine the comparison of the electrical responses of different brain regions in Implicit and Explicit learning of a motor skill in teenage girls with cold executive functions.
Methods: The current research method was of semi-experimental type, with a pre-test and post-test design, in which 20 girls aged 12 to 14 years were purposefully selected and placed in two groups of overt and covert learning. In the pre-test phase, people threw 15 darts and simultaneously brain waves were recorded with an electroencephalography device. Then both groups underwent 60-minute training sessions for five consecutive days. After finishing the exercises, on the sixth day, the memorization and transfer test was done. The results were analyzed using Matlab, SPSS and Excel software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results showed that the response of different parts of the nervous system in the form of brain waves in five brain regions DLPFC, OFC, CF, Frontal, All Frontal was not significant in the explicit learning method and not significant in the Implicit learning method.
Conclusion: Based on the present results, it can be said that the explicit learning method causes positive changes at the level of the cerebral cortex, but Implicit learning needs long-term strengthening. Therefore, explicit learning can be an effective intervention to improve brain waves and promote motor skill learning in individuals with cold executive function.
