Čížková, Kristýna ; Sotáková, Hana (advisor) ; Hříbková, Lenka (referee)
The aim of this work is to describe cognitive processing of a child with autistic spectrum disorder, to pause on its mechanisms and causes. The first part of the work presents a theoretical background for following interpretation of the data acquired in the research. Firstly it briefly defines autistic spectrum disorders, cognitive functioning of individuals with the disorder and above all two main psychological theories of autism: Theory of Mind (S. B. Cohen) and Weak Central Coherence Theory (U. Frith). The second part of the work recounts a process of the research. Its focus lies in a long-lasting work with a girl with autistic spectrum disorder and a girl from intact population. The both girls went through standard theory of mind tests, reading exams aimed at apprehension and mathematic written exercises. Research data come mainly from following interviews with the girls and observation of their procedure of thinking. Gained data were confronted with the mentioned psychological theories of autism. Final analysis shows typical characteristics of cognitive processing of the particular child with autism: detail focusing, physical thinking and perseverance.

Self-Concept of intellectually talented pupils of different types of basic education
Čížková, Kristýna ; Hříbková, Lenka (advisor) ; Trpišovská, Dobromila (referee)
The aim of this work is to find out if and how the structure of Self-Concept of a specific pupil population - intellectually talented pupils of different types of basic education - differs. In the theoretic part, the terms of Self-Concept and Talent are explained; attention is paid to a present view of different aspects of Self-Concept of intellectually talented pupils. The empirical part consists of design of the research, analysis and interpretation of the data. For the purpose of this work, I defined talented pupils as successful participants in Biology and Geography Olympiads in the Central Bohemia region. These pupils were given a questionnaire with four free response questions. By analyzing their answers, I found out, for example, that self-discipline is a common personality trait in both groups, talented students of Secondary Grammar Schools are more motivated by their positive relationship to a certain curriculum, and that talented pupils of the primary schools emphasize their social position in their class collective. The data were then analyzed and interpreted according to the findings of the literature.
