The authors describe the results of a pilot study that represents a pa
rt of the Trail Making Test standardization in Czech children aged 9-1
4 years. The authors studied the healthy school children and compared
them with American children (Reitan, 1971) and Spanish children (Leon-
Carrion, 1989). The examining of 93 children (48 girls and 45 boys) ha
s shown that the results are very close to the American ones and signi
ficantly better than the Spanish ones. The results of Czech children w
ere (M = 13.3, SD = 4.6) in part A and (M = 28.1, SD = 11.3) in part B
. Differences between boys and girls were not statistically significan
t, which corresponds to the previous findings. Correlation with age wa
s 0.402 in part A, and 0.531 in part B. The authors assume a low cultu
ral determination of the test, but they point out the correct administ
ration of the test and the composition of the sample examined. They st
ate that this test is contributing within clinical and pedagogical pra
ctice, in pharmacology and neuropsychology. The results support the ut
ility of the test and of further home studies aimed at finding differe
nces among healthy children, children with brain disfunctions and more
serious damages of the brain, and the including of the test into a wi
der spectrum of psychological tests.
