Abstract
In clinical practice we often utilize measurements of psychic functions that help to determine diagnosis, disease stage but also favourable or unfavourable influences of the treatment. So called gnostic and executive psychic functions are important for the quality of life. The process of computer aided evaluation of the psychic functions is valuable especially from the reason of its acceleration and reduction in price. Higher degree of standardization seems to be another benefit of the computer aided evaluation. Within cooperation between the University Hospital Ostrava and the VSB Technical University of Ostrava we have developed software for measurement of the psychometric variables. A part of the research is also standardization of the results by a method of pilot testing within a group of healthy volunteers.
