| Description | The study compares the abilities of visual perception and judgment of children when they start attending the school. The children are of the age between five and seven years, from different cultural environments and different ethnics. There was developed a computerized method, called “Perception Test”, in this research study. Two geometrical objects were presented tachistoscopally to children. Some pairs of objects were identical, some differed in shapes, colors or numbers. The children had to decide during the test, whether the objects are equal or different. The time, that the children needed to give the answer, was measured. The results show us that there are no statistically significant differences in average number of correct answers between children coming from different ethnics. The results show us the differences in average time that children needed to answer all items. These differences are partly caused by socially disadvantageous background of some children (these children have lower level of abilities to work with computer and only during the test they started to learn how to manipulate with mouse and therefore it took these children longer to give the answer). |
