Sažetak
Introduction The human body acts as a unique and adaptable system based on constant learning and taking information from the environment. Stimulation of children's development is based on developing the mental abilities needed to understand the environment. The stimulation of cognitive learning from an early age is crucial, considering that cognitive functions depend on the creation of synapses. One of the essential mechanisms of stimulating learning occurs through physical activity as an indispensable factor in every segment of child development. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the psychosensory status of preschool children. Method The sample of participants (N=308) included 165 girls and 143 boys from 8 Croatian kindergartens, divided into four age groups. An NTC measuring instrument (Rajović, 2009) for monitoring the conditions and elements of psychophysical development of children was used (Nikola Tesla Center – MENSA Department for gifted children, 2009). Results and discussion The analysis of the results in the rank sum according to sex showed that the girls (N=165) had better results than the boys (N=143) only in the tying shoelaces test. The level of significance in the tying shoelaces test was p=0.005. The results showed that girls performed better than boys. In terms of age groups, older children (5-6 years) performed better than younger children (4-5 years). Conclusion The results of the study showed poor motor skills in preschool children. The study attempts to motivate the persons in a child’s environment to influence and strive to improve the anthropological characteristics of children. Such research provides an analysis of children’s psychosensory status and can serve as a good tool for future testing and assessment of children’s progress. Future research should include additional psychosensory tests in a longitudinal study of motor skills after applying the NCT system of learning.
