This Master Thesis involves the analysis and evaluation of military students psychomotor processes. This was carried out using the analyzer DPA – 1. This device is used for measuring dynamic parameters of independent or coordinated arm and leg movements by reacting to the target with a variety of geometric, colour or time parameters appearing on the screen. The DPA – 1 device enables scientists to analyse psychomotor reaction and dynamic and kinematical characteristics. The goal of the research was to identify the peculiarities of psychomotor reaction performing movements with the right and left arms. The participants of the research were 40 students (n=40) of the Lithuanian Military academy. Their age was 22.03 ± 0.54 years, body mass – 76.04 ± 9.13 kg, height – 180.29 ± 7.99 cm. Their right arm was dominant. To achieve this goal the following tasks had to be completed: 1. To determine the differences in psychomotor reaction by performing the moves with the dominant and non-dominant arms. 2. To determine the difference between movement speed and accuracy by performing the movement with the right and the left arms. 3. To determine the connection between the parameters of psychomotor reaction of the right and the left arms. The hypothesis: We think that movements performed with the dominant arm have better psychomotor qualities. The research methods: 1. Analysis of the scientific literature resources 2. Testing 3. Mathematical statistics Conclusions 1. There were no... [to full text]

The aim of the dissertation entitled Neuro-Developmental Stimulation in special education teachers work is to explain a lesser-known phenomenon (persistent primary reflexes and sensory-sensitive integration disorders in children) to determine the prevalence of persistent primary reflexes in pupils from 5 to 8 years and verify effectiveness of the method Neuro- Developmental Stimulation as a possible intervention program for special educators. The theoretical basis is current knowledge about psychomotorics, primary reflexes, sensory perception and sensory-sensitive integration. The main part of the work is research into the prevalence of persistent primary reflexes. The research group consists 345 pupils from 5 to 8 years of age attending regular kindergartens and primary schools and 26 pupils aged 8 to 11 years attending a primary school established pursuant to Section 16, Paragraph 9 of the Czech Education law. Intervention by the Neuro-Developmental Stimulation method is verified in a case study. The next part of the research maps the experience of special pedagogue teachers and speech therapists with the method Neuro-Developmental Stimulation as an intervention program. The research has a quantitative approach. For data collection, questionnaires were distributed among all special pedagogues and...
