The present research investigates the effects of neurofeedback on working memory. For this reason 30 monolingual (Fars) University students in 2 groups (experimental and placebo) were assigned. Participants completed the working memory test in two stages (pre-test and post-test). Data were analyzed through ANCOVA. The result revealed that after 20 session of neurofeedback training, the experimental group exhibited improvement in working memory. Groups did have significant differences in working memory. Neurofeedback (NF) refers to an operant conditioning paradigm where participants can learn voluntary control of distinct parameters of their electrical brain activity as measured by the electroencephalogram (EEG). Recent research focused on healthy individuals providing evidence that subjects are able to gain some control over different EEG components and thereby increase performance levels for working memory
