The empirical study aims to map the development of individual cognitive abilities by self-assessment, with an emphasis on visual and auditory perception and attention, memory, social competencies and professional growth. Based on continuous observations from direct pedagogical practice, we established the overall prevailing hypotheses (H) as follows: H1 increase in visual cognitive abilities, H2 decrease in auditory cognitive abilities, H3 stagnation in memory functions, H4 uncertainty in social competencies, H5 uncertainty in professional growth. The study involved high school students, in the age category from 15 to 17 years. The electronic questionnaire consists of 13 topics related to cognitive, social and professional competencies, from the perspective of the individual. A total of 248 students were interviewed, with 85 respondents taking advantage of the opportunity to participate. The hypotheses H1 to H4 have not been confirmed, the students did not perceive a change in personal visual and auditory abilities, but in the evaluation of H3 we note the declared significant decrease in memory abilities. The H5 hypothesis was confirmed, most notably among the respondents of grade II.
