Abstract
This article presents results of a theoretical investigation of the application of the object-oriented Unified Modelling Language to a formal description of Neisser’s cycle of perception. The article includes class diagrams, modelling the spatial structure of Neisser’s cycle of perception and demonstrates how these formal descriptions can be applied to the area of modelling the problem-independent dialogue process. The basis of such applications is the assumption that the dialogue process in relation to either of the dialogue agents is similar to the process of routine perception of the environment in accordance with Neisser’s understanding of perception.

Summary
This article is devoted to one of classical models of Cognitive Psychology know as Neisser’s cycle of perception[1]. The model integrates 'bottom-up' (from sensory system to the long-term memory) and 'topdown' (from long-term memory to the motor system) processes into one cyclically repeated process According to this model, the main cognitive structure, which determines such processes as perception, attention and categorization, is a set of anticipatory schemata, within a given cycle/step of perception. We can say that according to Neisser’s model, the process of perception is determined by two factors: the current state of the environment and previous perceptual experience From this brief description of Neisser’s model of perception it follows that the spatial structure of the perceptual system can be represented by at least the following classes of objects: * AnticipatorySchemata - The class of sets of anticipatory schemata. The class AnticipatorySchemata models a fragment of a perceptual script, which controls the process of
