[Results of concentration training in normally intelligent students with poor concentration].

The contribution reports on the efficiencies of two different concentration training programmes tested on 40 normally intelligent boys with severely reduced concentration. Twenty of the boys received rhythmic music therapy and the other 20 received a special teaching programme based on psychological principles. Psychostimulants were also administered to 10 boys in each group.

[Differences in behavior evaluation of normally intelligent children with school difficulties by parents and teacher].

The behaviour of normally intelligent children experiencing difficulties in reading and writing and with poor concentration was assessed by means of the Meyer-Probst questionnaire which was answered by the mothers, fathers and teachers. The results were compared with those for a parallel control group composed of normal children. The assessments given by parents and teachers were in good agreement in the case of the control group, but those given by the different persons involved differed in education and upbringing regarding certain psychological aspects in the case of the children with poor performance at school.
