Abstract:
The aims of this research were to development and to examine the effectiveness of the program to promote inhibitory control on the concept of Neuro Linguistic Programming in children. The sample consisted of elementary school students, with statistics on diagnosis and behavior adjustment services at the Psychiatric Department, Pak Chong Nana Hospital, academic year 2020. A total of 56 samples, aged 7 - 11 years. The scores of the sample were randomly matched pattern by the Go/ No-go task test, gender and age then they were assigned into two groups: experimental and control group. Each group consisted of 28 students (14 boys and 14 girls). The research instruments were; 1) Pogram to promote inhibitory control in children created by the researcher based on the concept of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), 2) Assessment of intelligence quotient for children aged 2 - 15 years, 3) Swanson, Nolan and Pelham version IV (SNAP-IV), 4) Pervasive Developmental Disorder Screening Questionnaire (PDDSQ) and 5) Go/ No-go task. The experimental group received the program to promote inhibitory control on the concept of Neuro Linguistic Programming for 2nd sessions, for 50 minutes. Data collection was done in two phases; before the experiment and after the experiment. The data were analyzed by t-test.
The results were that; 1) The experimental group had the score of Commission error in the post-test higher than the pre-test statistically significant at .05 level. 2) The experimental group had the score of Reaction time in the post-test higher than the pre-test statistically significant at .05 level. 3) The experimental group had the score of Commission error higher than those in the control group in the post-test statistically significant at .05 level. 4) The experimental group had the score of Reaction higher than those in the control group in the post-test statistically significant at .05 level. It was concluded that the program to promote inhibitory control in on the concept of Neuro Linguistic Programming in children had the effect on inhibitory control.
