Sažetak
This paper investigates whether there are differences in the results achieved during the assessment of visual and auditory perceptual abilities in students (N = 166) of upper and lower elementary school grades who are involved in the process of determining the psychophysical condition. Adequate assessment is important not only because of the prediction of students’ academic success, but also as a basis for the development of individualized curricula that will enable the selection of adequate forms and content of educational support for each student. The Acadia developmental ability test was used to assess students’ perceptual abilities. In data processing, in addition to calculating frequencies and arithmetic means by groups, in order to determine the deviation of the observed frequencies from the expected frequencies, the χ2-test was used. The results indicate the existence of significant differences in student achievement on the subtests of visual and auditory memory and visual differentiation. It turned out that lower results in all three tests were achieved by lower elementary school grade students. The pedagogical implications of this study indicate the need for more intensive educational monitoring of students from the beginning of their education.
