The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of process and product mental simulation on cognitive flexibility, academic procrastination, and academic performance of second-year high school students. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all second-year high school students in Badrud in 2024, from which 30 people were selected using a non-random sampling method. Then, the subjects in the experimental group received 8 one-hour sessions of training on the process and product mental simulation protocol. The cognitive flexibility questionnaires of Dennis and VanderWaal (2010), academic procrastination of Solomon and Rothblom (1984), and academic performance of Taylor and Pham (1999) were used to evaluate the subjects. The collected data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance using SPSS-27 software. The research findings showed that process and product mental simulation had a positive and significant effect on cognitive flexibility and academic performance of second-year high school students (P<0.05). However, this intervention did not have a significant effect on academic procrastination in this group of students (P<0.05). It was concluded that the process and product mental simulation training program can be used as a beneficial intervention to improve cognitive flexibility and academic performance of second-year high school students.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of mind theory in relation to executive functions with quality of life and empathy in children. The research method was descriptive-correlation modeling of structural equations. The statistical population included children (boys and girls) aged 6 to 12 years in Meybod city in the academic year 1400-1399, 350 of whom were selected by the available sampling method and completed the children's empathy questionnaires of Auyeung et al (2009), quality of life form of Varni et al (2001), Coolidge neuropsychological (2002) and Hutchins' Theory of Mind (2012) the parent form. The results showed that the research model is a good fit. Executive functions have a significant direct effect on the theory of mind, quality of life and empathy of children. Theory of mind also has a significant direct effect on the quality of life and empathy of children. Another finding showed that the theory of mind plays a mediating role in the relationship between executive functions and children's quality of life and empathy. Therefore, it can be concluded that by improving executive functions and strengthening the theory of mind, we can increase the quality of life and empathy in children.
