Abstract

Uspješno izvršavanje svakodnevnih aktivnosti omogućuju unimanualna i bimanualna koordinacija, odnosno dobro koordinirani pokreti ruku. Uz navedene kapacitete, ulogu u izvršavanju akcija imaju i izvršne funkcije. Izvršne funkcije predstavljaju jedan od temeljnih kognitivnih procesa koji kontroliraju procese niže razine s ciljem usmjerenog ponašanja. Jedan od procesa izvršnih funkcija jest inhibicija, odnosno kontrola motoričkih odgovora. Cilj ovog istraživanja jest utvrditi postoji li povezanost između unimanualne i bimanualne koordinacije i kontrole motoričkih odgovora kod djece u dobi od pet do sedam godina, budući da je predškolska dob ključna za njihov razvoj. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 178 djece, od toga 87 (48,9%) dječaka i 91 (51,1%) djevojčica. Uzorak varijabli sastoji se od testova fine motorike, točnije unimanualne i bimanualne koordinacije te brzine reakcije. Za utvrđivanje kontrole motoričkih odgovora, korištena je digitalna aplikacija Go/no go. Prema Pearsonovom koeficijentu korelacije, utvrđena je statistički značajna (p < 0.01) negativna povezanost između varijabli Skupljanje šibica i Rezultat impulzivnosti (r = -.20). Unutar varijabli vezanih uz unimanualnu i bimanualnu koordinaciju, utvrđena je statistički značajna (p < 0.01) pozitivna korelacija između varijabli Uhvati štap i Slaganje piramida od čaša (r = .29). Varijabla Uhvati Štap, statistički je značajno (p < 0.05) pozitivno povezana i s varijablama Skupljanje šibica (r = .17) i Brzina reakcije (r = .16). Također, značajna (p< 0.01) pozitivna povezanost utvrđena je i između varijable Slaganje piramida od čaša i varijabli Skupljanje šibica (r = .23), Skupljanje kovanica (r = .24) i Brzina reakcije (r = .21). Dodatno je napravljen t-test kako bi se utvrdilo postoje li razlike prema spolu. Utvrđena je statistička značajnost u varijablama Slaganje piramida od čaša (p = .04) i Točnost no go odgovora (p = .02), dok su varijable Točkanje (p = .06) i Rezultat impulzivnosti (p = .06) na granici.

Abstract (english)

Successful execution of daily activities is made possible by unimanual and bimanual coordination, i.e. well-coordinated hand movements. In addition to the mentioned skills, executive functions also play a role in the execution of actions. Executive functions represent one of the fundamental cognitive processes that control lower-level processes with the goal of directed behavior. One of the processes of executive functions is inhibition, that is, control of motor responses. The goal of this research is to determine if there is a connection between unimanual and bimanual coordination and control of motor responses in children aged five to seven years, since preschool age is crucial for their development. 178 children participated in the research, of which 87 (48.9%) were boys and 91 (51.1%) were girls. The sample of variables consists of tests of fine motor skills, specifically unimanual and bimanual coordination and speed of reaction. To determine the control of motor responses, the digital application Go/no go was used. According to Pearson's correlation coefficient, a statistically significant (p < 0.01) negative correlation was found between the variables Match collecting and Impulse control score (r = -.20). Within the variables related to unimanual and bimanual coordination, a statistically significant (p < 0.01) positive correlation was found between the variables Catch the stick and Cup stacking (r = .29). The variable Catch the Stick is statistically significantly (p < 0.05) positively related to the variables Match collecting (r = .17) and Reaction time (r = .16). Also, a significant (p < 0.01) positive correlation was established between the variable Cup stacking and the variables Match collecting (r = .23), Coin collecting (r = .24) and Reaction time (r = .21). Additionally, a t-test was performed to determine whether there were differences by gender or not. Statistical significance was determined in the variables Cup stacking (p = .04) and Accuracy of no go responses (p = .02), while the variables Punctuation (p = .06) and Impulse control score (p = .06) are borderline.
