ABSTRACT

Cognitive function is a process of thinking systematically, logically, and analytically. In the present study, it is indispensible and has an important role in the learning process's success. The enhancement of cognition could change a person's behavior for the better. The thought process depends on the brain's electrical activity and a person's mental condition, which is indicated by brain waves, beta waves. Beta waves affect a person's concentration and awareness. Improvement beta waves on adolescents are positively correlated with improved cognitive function. In addition to cognitive function, they are stimulation by brain jogging or brain exercise. Brain jogging is a mental exercise model that combines cognitive and multitasking. This study used an experimental method with brain jogging treatment intervention for eight weeks, with 17 students who had met the sampling criteria. The beta wave measurement results increased significantly by 19.92% or (16.99±8.48 vs. 20.38±9.34) with a p-value of 0.0001**. Cognitive function increased significantly by 44.36% or (290.88±31.92 vs. 419.94±97.01) with a p-value of 0.0001**. Meanwhile, the Pearson correlation test results between beta waves and cognitive function in the pre-test obtained r = -0.642 with a determinant coefficient of 0.054 or 5.4%, there was no significant correlation, while in the post-test it was obtained r = 0.482 with a determinant coefficient of 0.232. or 23.2% with a p-value of 0.050*. Research and analysis of brain jogging treatment have been shown to improve cognitive function and affect beta waves.
