Nehasil, Lukáš ; Veselý, Viktor (advisor) ; Kučerová, Klára (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the short-term effect of a smartphone usage on selective visual attention. The aim of this work was to examine whether there is a change in active selective visual attention after a single exposure to smartphone. The second objective was to find out if the sports organizations somehow restrict the use of mobile phones prior to the athletes' performance. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the development in attention research and findings of recent studies, concerning smartphone effects and attention. Methodology: For the assessment of changes in attention the d2 Attention Test was used. The first testing was performed after using a smartphone for 10 minutes, the following testing was done without prior phone usage. Representatives of Prague sports organizations were contacted to answer questions regarding the mobile phone restriction in their club. Results: Results show better concentration performance when testing without prior smartphone usage. The concentration performance after the smartphone usage is in the range of 83% - 95% of the concentration performance without prior exposition to the smartphone (with the 95% confidence interval).

Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate whether a 12-week neuropsychological rehabilitation program has a positive effect on the improvement of cognitive functions and what methods can be used to measure this effect. Furthermore, this study intended to verify the effect of the chosen training plan on the resulting state of cognitive functions, in particular with regard to the frequency and duration of the plan. Methodology: Forty-three patients diagnosed with MS were randomized into an experimental condition or the control group. The experimental condition included 26 patients (22 women and 4 men), whole the control group consisted of 17 patients (12 women and 5 men). All of these patients had a cognitive defect that was assessed at the beginning of the study and monitored using the neuropsychological tests after the participation in the training program. Participants in the experimental group received their rehabilitation of cognitive functions using a PC training program, which they completed in their home environments (30 minutes/4 times per week, for 8 consecutive weeks). Overall, there were 32 training sessions on predetermined days with a specific detailed training plan. The control group received no training. The neuropsychological tests used at the beginning and the...
