ABSTRACT

Background: The study aimed to improve the levels of information encoding. It examines the extent of the impact of this on the working memory capacity of students with learning difficulties, as these students use inappropriate strategies in their academic fields, which causes a feeling of inability to achieve what is expected from them. The research sample consisted of (20) male and female students in the fourth grade of primary school, who were between the ages of (8-11). The researcher used the experimental approach with two groups design and the pre-and-post and follow-up measurement of the study variables. Research tools consisted of the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale, Information Encoding Level scale, Quick Neurological Screening Test, and the program of the levels of information encoding. The results of the research were analyzed using statistical methods represented in the standard averages and deviations - the "T" test for the related sample - the "T" test for the independent sample through the statistical program.
