摘要：The aim of this study was to compare the mental awareness and working memory between active and inactive students of Urmia University. Participants were selected purposefully from physical education students and other fields of humanities. The samples included 80 students (physical education (n: 40), humanities fields (n: 40), and each group consisted of 20 males and 20 females). The Kentucky awareness Skills Inventory and N-BACK software were used to evaluate mental awareness and working memory respectively. The findings of the multi co-variance analysis showed that there was no significant difference between working memory and focusing sub-test of physical education students in comparison to the humanities students and also gender. Active students were better in the observing and describing sub-tests. In the attention and accepting sub-test, there were significant differences in gender. Therefore, it is necessary to inform the public about the mental awareness through designing and developing special programs.
