Objective: A three-dimensional instructional intervention (self-regulation of attentional behaviors, self-regulation of motivational behaviors, and verbal self-instruction) was conducted to ameliorate ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) symptoms. Method: 60 third grade male students with ADHD were screened and diagnosed using CSI-4 and DSM-4 criteria. The subjects were trained to apply the mentioned cognitive skills, and then a follow-up study was done. Results: The results display a significant difference for pretest-post test, and follow-up treatments (P<0.01). Post hoc analysis indicates that self-regulation of attentional behaviors had a more considerable effect in comparison with the other two treatments. Conclusion: These findings suggest that teaching cognitive instructions to children with ADHD can improve ADHD symptoms.
