Neural corelates of arithmetic functions
PLASSOVÁ, Michala
This present thesis is focused on the description of relation between brain activity while solving approximate arithmetic tasks and results in Stanford Binet's intelligence test in preschool children. The influence of N1, N2 and P2p components and late posterior components on non-symbolic numerical processing has been validated. Furthermore, it is the influence of maturation with each measured component and also the difference in their amplitude and their commencement after the stimulus presentation that must be pointed out. Our research data show that it is the very amplitude and its commencement that can be used as a potential intelligence indicator in preschool children. Both these components are related to cognitive processing time which has repeatedly proved to correlate with G intelligence factor. It is especially N2 component, which is connected with inhibitiory control of executive functions, that seems to have the potential for this diagnosis. Generally, it is P2p component that is given major attention. Nevertheless, in our research, this component has shown inconsistent results with respect to the amplitude which can be attributed to a low variance of our children's intelligence.
The usage of coloured version of Wartegg drawing test among seniors in centers of social services in the South Bohemian region
PLASSOVÁ, Michala
The bachelor thesis pursues the drawing display created by seniors while being examined by the coloured modification of the Wartegg´s drawing test. There is an introduction to the whole issue of graphic projective methods given in the theoretical part of this thesis, particularly the Wartegg´s drawing test, the old age as a stage of life and the biological and psychological changes during the old age. The thesis also briefly consults the issues of cognitive disorders, especially dementia and also reminds us of the superannuation being regarded as a social phenomenon. The empiric part contains the research which concentrates on the description of content and formal drawing signs among the seniors in the Wartegg´s drawing test and a following comparison of the seniors who undergo the cognitive practice and those who do not. The diagrams illustrate the results. The thesis made efforts to describe the signs which occur during the treatment of coloured modification of the Wartegg´s drawing test within the seniors and determine whether these signs differ among those who undergo and those who do not undergo the cognitive practice.
