 Červenková, Markéta ; Nikolai, Tomáš (advisor) ; Jirák, Roman (referee) ; Holmerová, Iva (referee)
Worldwide we are becoming witnesses to trend leading to rising number of people living to an older age. Focus of the research changes compared to previous studies in last few decades which studied the pathological aging and shifts to identification of factors leading to healthy (also "successful" aging). The focus is thus on finding the definition of successful and unsuccessful aging, so we would be able to timely identify the risks connected with aging and their influence on health or the level of quality of life. In connection with this, new concepts are becoming known, meaning "SuperAging" and "SuperAger" (SA). SuperAging is a phenomenon presenting successful (also as healthy) aging. SuperAger is the given individual, who is successfully (also as healthy) ages. In the theoretical part of the submitted thesis is presented the summary of findings in the field of neuropsychological changes connected with aging. The concept of successful (or healthy) aging is presented and the methodology of cognitive deficit detection in old age is described. The research part presents the summary of four studies following two main objectives.

Adaptation of the EBIQ neuropsychological questionnaire for the diagnostic of the emotional and psychosocial problems after brain injury.
 Wolfová, Beata ; Kulišťák, Petr (advisor) ; Stehlík, Luděk (referee)
Neurorehabilitation for people suffering from brain injury has traditionally focused on rehabilitation of the somatic and cognitive functions. Research into the emotional aspects of brain injury has, however, been limited. The theoretical part of this thesis was therefore to map diagnostic tools suitable for the investigation of emotional problems of patients after brain injury and to classify these tools for the needs of neuropsychological practice. In the empirical part the author focused on the adaptation and pilot verification of the EBIQ (European Brain Injury Questionnaire) neuropsychological questionnaire, for a sample of patients having experienced brain injury and their immediate family and friends. The practical outcome of work in addition to the psychometric characteristics is a Czech working version EBIQ-P (version for patients) and EBIQ-R (version for family members), including well-prepared instructions for evaluating the results and examples for use in clinical practice. EBIQ provides an alternative to the previously used questionnaires SCL-90 and MMPI-100, since these, according to our findings and the findings from other studies on the group of patients after brain injury provide invalid results.
