Malíková, Vladimíra ; Soukupová, Tereza (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
The primary topic of this work is to describe the executive functions profile of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Neuropsychological methods of measurement are used such as the Rey-Osterreith Complex Figure Test and also the self-made scale for self-judgement, which investigates the daily activities of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. The aim of this work is to describe the main terms of Borderline Personality Disorder and the executive functions system, as viewed by current Czech and foreign literature, and also current international research. Within Borderline Personality Disorder we are interested in the diagnostic criterion of DSM-IV and ICD-10. We are also interested in its etiology. There are huge efforts to show the destructive consequences this diagnosis can have for the individual in their daily life activities. The term 'executive functions system' is here explained through the difficult definitions which vary from author to author. This work strives to explain the origin of the executive functions system, where the functions are placed and what their function is. It also focuses on the relation between executive functions system and Borderline Personality Disorder. The results of the Rey-Osterreith Complex Figure Test are compared with the...

Malíková, Vladimíra ; Soukupová, Tereza (advisor) ; Goldmann, Petr (referee)
The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment training (FIE) in respondents with Parkinson's disease (PD) in comparison with another type of cognitive training. The specific aim of the study was to verify whether there were differences between the effectiveness of the FIE and the training of the individual cognitive domains for cognitive functions in respondents with PD. The study included patients with PD who underwent an examination by a neuropsychological battery before the beginning of the training in order to evaluate the level of cognitive functions. Based on the demographic characteristics and the overall score in the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale-II (DRS-II), the respondents (n = 24) were randomly divided into two research groups. The experimental group (EXP) trained using the FIE method for 60 minutes once a week during three months. The control group (CON) trained the individual cognitive domains. After the cognitive training the respondents were examined again in order to detect changes of the level of each one of the cognitive functions. The examination revealed significant differences in the first and the second phases of testing in the EXP respondents (n = 12) in the level of current anxiety (p = 0.024), memory for non-verbal...
