Ability is a feature that determines the success of an individual in an activity,
regardless of the amount of exercise and motivation. Attention and memory are
the abilities that belong to the field of cognitive functioning. Attention is an
important brain function, and concentration of attention is needed for remember
and acquiring school knowledge.
In this paper an assessment of the ability of attention and memory in students with
cerebral palsy and students of typical development was performed. The sample
of the study was formed by 34 students (50% students with cerebral palsy and
50% students with typical development), of both sexes. The research was carried
out in three schools in the territory of Belgrade, which among other things,
educate children with disabilities. The test for assessing alertness attention,
selectivity and focus and the test story for immediate repeat according to the
mental status protocol were used. The data were analysed on the basis of average
...
achievement in terms of sex and age in students with cerebral palsy and students
of a typical development.
The obtained results point to the existence of a difference between students with
cerebral palsy and students of typical development when it comes to assessing
the ability of attention and memory. By using the t-test for independent samples,
a statistically significant difference was obtained between the tested groups, both
on the test for assessing alertness attention, selectivity and focus (t(32)=3.771 p=.002) and on the memory test (t(32)=3.024, p=.05). The results of the study
showed that students with cerebral palsy had lower achievement on tests for
assessing the ability of attention and memory compared to students of typical
development. However, in the group of subjects with typical development were
recorded low achievements on applied tests.
Based on the results obtained, it can be said that attention and memory disorders
are present both, in children with developmental disorders and in the children of
typical development, and it is important to detect their presence in time to develop
appropriate programs in order to improve the functioning of these children both
in school, and social environment.
