Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: The author presents the results of the research in the area of the skills connected with defining abstract notions by children at the age 6-7 and 9-10 who have a cleft palate and/or cleft lip. The results are compared with the results from a group of children without such defects. In the research the author applies her own research tool and means of analysis.Material/Methods: 80 children at the age of 6-10 took part in this study. In the research on defining notions of an abstract nature, the tasks from Pluta-Wojciechowska (2011) method was used.Results: It was found that children with a cleft significantly more frequently did not attempt the task connected with defining the notions, there were no statistically significant differences between the subjects in the area of frequency of defining the notions by means of the superordinate notions. However, statistically significant differences in the frequency of the occurrence of defining by other means were found; the children with a cleft used this strategy more rarely than those without a cleft, in the case of the children with a cleft, we found statistically significant differences in the more seldom occurrence of the correct answer connected with the notion de fined, if we take into consideration the distinguished means of defining the notions.Conclusions: The children with a cleft obtained worse results in the tests of the skills connected with defining abstract notions in comparison to the group of children without such imperfections.
