REGULATORY COMPONENT OF ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CRITERIA OF COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF A CHILD’S READYNESS FOR SCHOOL LIFE

The article considers the problem of a child’s readiness for school in the conditions of modern educational changes. Works of scientists are presented, in which the role of arbitrary regulation of the behavior of a preschool child in the formation of readiness for school is determined. Methods of studying the development of children’s ability to arbitrary regulation proposed by psychologists are analyzed. They determine the ability of children to subordinate their actions to verbal instructions, patterns, rules of the game and build these actions accordingly; identify the level of development of voluntary attention and perception, the ability to purposefully find a solution; establish opportunities for preschoolers to focus on goals, actively achieve meaningful goals, overcome difficulties. It is emphasized that the best results of the development of arbitrary regulation of behavior children demonstrate during the diagnosis, organized in the form of story-role play, play with rules or game task. Regulatory component of activity is singled out as criterion of comprehensive assessment of child’s readiness for school life. Essence of the concept is revealed and indicators of its manifestation in children’s activity are determined. The mechanism of conscious regulation is based on the ability to control psychical activities and behavior — to direct actions in accordance with the task or requirement, to subordinate them to specific goals. The regulatory component of the activity as a criterion of the child’s readiness for school life characterizes the child’s ability to actively implement the acquired experience in the activity, to manage behavior. Following achievements in the volitional sphere will be considered as indicators of manifestation of a regulatory component of activity of the child of senior preschool age: — ability to perform actions according to the sample; — ability to perform actions according to the verbal instructions (follow rules of the game and relationships, your own design); — ability to show purposefulness, activity in achieving the goal, willingness to overcome difficulties. These indicators have their characteristic manifestations in each of the specific children’s activities, organized by children independently and with the support of an adult: play, communication, speech, health, household, artistic and creative, cognitive and research. It is noted, that a comprehensive assessment of child’s readiness for school life will reflect the results of studying regulatory, emotional, cognitive, creative content components of activities, which together will create a real picture of the child’s personal development, bases of the formed key competencies of senior preschoolers.

The prevalence of behavioral problems among school-aged children in home quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic in china

To prevent spreading of the COVID-19 infection, many countries have implemented a nationwide school closure. We aimed to assess the prevalence of behavioral problems in school-aged children during home confinement. We conducted an internet-based survey involving 1264 children (grades 2-6) and their parents from two primary schools between February 25 and March 8, 2020, in Hubei province, China. Behavioral problems were evaluated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The prevalence of prosocial behaviors among children was 10.3%, followed by total difficulty (8.2%), conduct problems (7.0%), peer problems (6.6%), hyperactivity-inattention (6.3%) and emotional problems (4.7%). Compared with children who did not exercise, children with psychical activity had a lower hyperactivity-inattention risk (Odds Ratio (OR): 0.44 for 1-2 days/week; OR: 0.56 for more than 2 days/week) and less prosocial behaviors problems (OR: 0.65 for 1-2 days/week; OR: 0.55 for more than 2 days/week). Children of parents with anxious symptoms were associated with increased risks of emotional symptoms and total difficulty (OR: 5.64 and 3.78, respectively). We adopted self-report questionnaires and did not collect baseline information before COVID-19 outbreak. The potential self-selection bias inherent in the study should be noted. The prevalence of behavioral problems among school-aged children varied from 4.7% to 10.3% in home quarantine during the COVID-19 outbreak. Taking physical exercise may be an efficient measure to reduce behavioral problems for school-aged children in home confinement.

Alain Robbe-Grillet and Nathalie Sarraute: in the Labyrinths of Metaphors

The article deals with aesthetic and stylistic particularities of the works by A. Robbe-Grillet and N. Sarraute, two famous writers and theorists of the “Nouveau Roman”. This literary movement continues to provoke debates about its interpretation and definitive assessment among foreign and national scientists, indicating the timeliness of the work. The research is based on their criticism and fiction published in the late 1950s – early 1960s. Analysing the literary context and the aesthetic views of the writers allows us to explain causes of their disagreements, to discover similarities and differences between their creative methods. Interpreting the works in the light of the image of labyrinth gives the opportunity to outline the main features of the poetics of Robbe-Grillet and Sarraute from a new angle. The use of metaphor is one of the characteristics that unites the literary practice of these authors. The concept of labyrinth has a number of philosophical and cultural senses, and its consideration is fruitful in order to study the individuality of the “nouveaux romanciers” literary world. The meaning of the image of labyrinth in the texts of “Dans le labyrinthe” and “Le Planétarium” is treated with comparative and hermeneutic methods, definitive and contextual analysis. The labyrinth defines the logic of creating the whole novel of Robbe-Grillet; it is involved in the description of interior and the image-bearing structure of Sarraute’s work. In addition, the metaphor is the basis of the stylistic manner of both authors, in spite of its different functioning in the considered works. As opposed to rudimentary and stereotypical story and characters, the metaphor in their texts serves to represent psychic activities of any person. Interpreting subconscious processes becomes the central content of the French writers’ works. The “nouveaux romanciers” assign to a reader a significant role in expounding their texts, that triggers self-knowledge, as well as philosophical reflections. The study may be of interest for experts in philology, science of culture and philosophy. Keywords: “Nouveau Roman”, metaphor, subconscious, image, interpretation, story, character

Representación social (RS) que del proceso atención de enfermería (PAE) tienen las enfermeras(os) profesionales

Introducción: la representación social (RS), es un cuerpo organizado de conocimientos, una actividad cognitivo psíquica gracias a la cual las personas hacen inteligible su realidad física, social, y la forma en que se integran a un grupo de forma cotidiana, surgiendo significados reales ante diferentes objetos o situaciones; constituye un medio de comprensión de realidades concretas aprendidas individualmente pero se resignifican en lo social.1 Describir la RS que las enfermeras(os) tienen del PAE; permite reconocer su significado en la práctica profesional. Objetivo: analizar la RS que sobre el PAE tienen las enfermeras(os) profesionales. Material y métodos: estudio cualitativo, realizado a 15 enfermeras(os); la recolección de información fue por entrevista semiestructurada; para análisis de resultados se adoptó como marco teórico-metodológico la teoría de representación social.[i] Resultados: análisis de la primer categoría: 1. (Des) conceptualización del PAE en la práctica de cuidado; subcategorías: método propio de cuidado y medio de identidad profesional. Conclusiones: el PAE como núcleo central de RS entre enfermeras (os) profesionales tiene una asociación fuerte en la objetivación; pues se tiene el concepto de PAE aprendido en el aula; sin embargo, en el anclaje sufre una desconceptualización al no identificarlo como metodología propia de cuidado ni medio de identidad profesional.

Modern Trends of Cognitive Ergonomics and in the field of Interactive Design

With rapid technological developments and the growth of computer applications, and the introduction of technological machines into the production process, the nature of human and machine encounter has changed radically, shifting the human mission from focusing on motor and muscular sensory perception skills to focusing on mental, intellectual and Psychic activities to solve problems and make the right decision. The new technology has also become focused on what the human mind and human mind can absorb and deal with, and with the emergence of an interactive design that focuses on the design of product technology based on interactive human behavior, and the benefit of the product by focusing on the interactive visual interface, it was necessary for Cognitive ergonomics (CE), which focuses on the study of human's mental and cognitive processes such as: attention, cognition, memory, information processing, decision-making and implementation, in working conditions and activities of daily life, had to evolve to be associated with other humanities. To use them when designing to align products and interactive systems with human abilities and boundaries, this research focused on identifying the most important sciences and trends of cognitive ergonomics that have an impact on the development of interactive products and systems.

The Psycho-biophysical Modeling of the some Stress Parameters

The human organism is a biophysical system. Stress represents a normal reaction of the organism which appears as a response to an aggression situation which requires an unusual and quick adaptation effort from the organism. Stress is a state of putting in alert, of mobilizing the forces of the organism in the occasion of an event which requires, in order to be kept under control, a big amount of energy in a very short time. This alert state or action preparation translated through physical and psychological manifestations. In higher-level living organisms the following forms of regulation are known: biological, nervous, hormonal, humoral and immune regulation. In the case of humans, psychic regulation also appears due to the existence of psychic activity. We study only two forms of the stress: fear and death. We present different biophysical modeling aspects. The stress in the human organism is a pertur­bation. This perturbation is regulates by negative feedback.

СПІВВІДНОШЕННЯ ПОКАЗНИКІВ КОНФЛІКТНОСТІ З ШИРОКИМ СПЕКТРОМ РИС ОСОБИСТОСТІ

Theoretical and methodological analysis of scientific literature has shown that there is a great deal of information about the personality traits, which belong to manifestations of conflict and qualities closely related, and are contained in the factors of the personality, such as the Freiburg Personality Inventory (FPI). This article presents the results of the theoretical and empirical research on conflict and personality traits of a wide range of future psychologists. Psychological analysis of conflict proneness as a phenomenon has been proposed. Conflictness is interpreted as a personality trait that is characterized by such psychic activities, emotions, thoughts, messages, plans, attitudes, which spur them to conflict behavior, callous, and physical activity. Conflictness is a selective orientation of an individual towards behavior that corresponds to the conflict experiences, thoughts, intentions, and attitudes. From the standpoint of continually-hierarchical approach, in the qualitative structure of conflict, the following components were empirically identified and described: emotional, cognitive, and behavioral and the types of conflict differed by the combination of its indicators. The research used a complex of psychodiagnostic techniques to identify conflict predisposition indicators and demonstrate them: “Differential Diagnosis of Propensity to Conflict” (developed by Olha Sannikova and Tetiana Ulianova), “Personal Aggressiveness and Conflictness” (developed by Evgenii Iliin and Pavel Kovalev). There have been established interrelations between conflict proneness indices and personal qualities that follow its demonstrations: aggressiveness, neuroticism, unrestraint, weak self-control and self-regulation of the emotional sphere. A qualitative analysis was carried out, which allowed grouping the subjects according to a certain attribute and studying individual psychological peculiarities of conflict as personality properties.

MATERIAL BASIS OF ETHICAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS DESIRE IN ANCIENT EASTERN RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEMS

Purpose of this article is to study the phenomenon of desire in Ancient Chinese and ancient Indian society, to reveal a material basis for the appearance and formation of the specific ethical attitude towards desire in the philosophical reflection of ancient thinkers. To fulfil this purpose, we should study and analyse methodology of desire studies in philosophical and psychological literature, analyse the ethical attitude towards desire in religious and philosophical texts of Chinese and Indian thinkers, understand social and economic basis of such an ethical attitude, that is to establish material basis of desire as the specific form of psychic activity and to recreate the logic of its development. Theoretical basis. Culturological and economic studies of orientalists and dialectical logic. Originality. The paper presents the analysis of the perspectives and drawbacks of different approaches in desire studies. Research of ethical attitude towards the desire in Ancient China and India allowed us to recreate the logic of social relations and the level of productive forces in that society. The ideological foundation of conservation and recreation of power and property relations was found in the religious doctrine of suppression of individual desires. The connection between desire formation and division of labour and its preservation in the religious, political and legal forms of social consciousness was shown. Methodological perspectives of dialectical logic were defined in the study of logical and historical coincidence in the further development of the phenomenon and the notion of desire. Conclusions. Analysis of modern philosophical and psychological literature has revealed methodological drawbacks in desire studies, as they are focused on studying desire’s notion, its representation or separate aspects of desire in individual psyche disregarding its inner logic and material basis of its becoming. Studies of the ethical attitude towards desire in Eastern culture have shown the consensus in desire suppression of individuals and similarities between Ancient Chinese and Indian cultures. There is shown significance and material basis of the transcendental law suppressing the desires even of the higher classes of the oriental society. The methodological approach stated in this article can be applied for further desire studies of Ancient Greece culture, Christian ethics and modern society.

The Impact and the Prevention of Burnout on Psychic activity and Nervous and Immune Systems

The aim of my study is to analyze the causes and consequences of burnout on the dysfunction of psychic activity and weakening of the nervous and immune systems in their interaction. By presenting different research studies and my own analytical and practical results, this article traces the various orientations and identifies the symptoms, ranging from the quasi-normal state to the serious pathology in individuals suffering from burnout. The burnout methods and the psychotherapeutic techniques presented, which can generate the burnout cases, present a common backbone to the different approaches exposed in order to try to explain what this concept covers and the way it manifests itself.

PEDAGOGICAL INTERACTION AS A SUBJECT OF SCIENTIFIC REFLECTION OF S. BALAY

The article is devoted to the analysis of pedagogical interaction as one of the leading problems in the theoretical heritage of the prominent Ukrainian-Polish scientist Stepan Balay. It is shown that Stepan Balay's pedagogical psychology is an integral system of views, which studies the patterns of pedagogical interaction and formation of the child's personality for the purposeful implementation of the pedagogical process, taking into account its age and individual characteristics, peculiarities of human psychic activity in the process of development and self-development. The systematic vector of the educational psychology of S. Balay is its humanistic orientation on the upbringing of the child's personality. The significant importance of S. Balay's creativity for the development of psychological science is determined by the justification of the consistent concept of the psychology of education, which is marked by a systematic vision of the process of development of the child, understanding of the pedagogical process as a subject-subject interaction, proclaiming love for the child as the basis of education. The originality of the scientist's views on solving the problems of psychology of education and upbringing is substantiated. The significance of the ideas of the psychology of education of S. Balay for the development of the theory and practice of pedagogical psychology, their role in the context of the tasks of modern education was described.

Uma nova abordagem da Teoria da Aprendizagem Desenvolvimental

O artigo oferece uma nova abordagem da teoria psicológica e didática concebida no período soviético com o termo “Развивающее обучение” e que tradicionalmente tem sido traduzida no ocidente como “Developmental Teaching”, “Enseñanza desarrollante” ou “Ensino desenvolvimental”. O texto comprova, a partir de fontes originais, em primeiro lugar, que, diferentemente de “teaching”, “enseñanza” e “ensino”, a tradução mais adequada na perspectiva desenvolvimental para o termo russo “обучение” (obutchenie) é aprendizagem. Em segundo lugar, que a questão é muito mais grave porque não se trata apenas de um problema de tradução, mas de compreensão dos fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos da concepção desenvolvimental que tem levado a ignorar que a atividade psíquica, que é o conteúdo dessa concepção, não pode ser ensinada, mas aprendida pelo próprio aluno quando emerge como sujeito em um tipo específico de atividade de estudo que fomenta a aprendizagem desenvolvimental colaborativa e autônoma. O artigo muda o modo atual de entender os tipos de aprendizagem existentes, a função da Didática, bem como o papel do professor e dos alunos no interior dessa teoria.

The Study of Rhythmic Component Coupling at the First Stage of Day Sleep

Coupling of EEG rhythms is an important indicator of the functional state of the human brain. There currently exist three theories explaining this coupling: (1) communication of neuronal populations, (2) neuronal coupling, and (3) coupling between generators of the frequencies being studied. It is known that the theta rhythm is associated with the functioning of cortico-hippocampal and alpha-rhythm-thalamo-cortical systems, and the beta rhythm can be included in the activity of both cortico-subcortical systems. The present work may clarify the features of the above-mentioned cortico-subcortical systems. There is a number of publications devoted to the study of EEG rhythm coupling in various types of psychical activity. At the same time, a concern for coupling of the rhythms at different sleep stages appeared in recent years. The task of our work included the study of coupling between theta, alpha, and beta EEG rhythms at the first stage of sleep. The study involved 22 subjects from 18 to 22 years old. Multichannel EEG was recorded during daytime sleep of the experiment participants. EEG segments with well-expressed theta rhythm were selected for the processing since it is “dominant” at the first stage of sleep. Bandpass filtering of the EEG signal was then performed. The following rhythms were discriminated: theta rhythm (4–7 Hz), alpha rhythm (8–13 Hz), beta-1 (14–19 Hz), and beta-2 (20–25 Hz) rhythms. Afterwards, for each range at each second, the average amplitude was calculated as the square root of the EEG signal dispersion. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used as a measure to evaluate coupling of EEG rhythms. As a result, it was established that the first stage of sleep is characterized by: (1) a lack of connections between the theta rhythm and other rhythms, (2) the presence of alpha–beta-1, alpha–beta-2, and beta-1–beta-2 links, (3) the increase in theta amplitude, and (4) the decrease in the amplitudes of alpha and beta rhythms. As was noted above, the theta rhythm is associated with functioning of the cortico-hippocampal system, and the alpha rhythm is associated with the thalamo-cortical system. In our work, two coexisting types of functioning of these systems are shown: (1) the “independent” one of the cortico-hippocampal circuit and (2) the thalamo-cortical one, connected with other rhythms, particularly with the beta rhythm. This heterogeneity is probably a condition for the first stage of sleep to be potentially unstable. An increase in theta rhythm amplitude at the first stage of sleep against the state of quiet wakefulness is shown. This is traditionally associated with the increase in ascending effects of limbic structures of the brain. Amplitudes of alpha and beta rhythms at the first stage of sleep significantly decreased, which indicates an attenuation of the influence of prefrontal cortical regions on posterior hypothalamus centers. Hence, it can be assumed that the onset of the first stage of sleep can be provided by the heterogenous character of rhythm coupling, and, correspondingly, different functioning of cortico-hippocampal and thalamo-cortical systems.

FUNCTIONING OF THE MENTAL DEFENSES IN THE CONDUCT OF THE INTERROGATION WITHIN THE CRIMINAL PROCESS

From the subject presented in the report it is evident that the pre-trial and the court bodies may, to some extent, be influenced both by the person of the accused and by his competence to participate in the criminal process. In this regard as an expert, the psychologist can offer invaluable assistance. Each expertise would assist all actors involved in the administration of justice on their objective assessment of the offenders, the understanding of their individual protection and the inherent self-justification during procedural actions. The involvement of psychologists in the criminal process is key to establishing the truth in the investigation, because every crime as an act has a subjective side, expressed in the psychic attitude of the perpetrator to the committed act. Establishing these psychological motives is a key point in the criminal process with a view to establishing the truth.Psychological protection stabilizes the personality in the critical conditions of counteraction, related to the elimination of the experiences of tension, anxiety, stress and frustration, leading to maximum mobilization of its resources and at the same time to their overpayment. Thus, the individual who is the subject of the process action is protected against the adverse external influences, but at the cost of a lot of effort and enormous loss of nervous-mental energy, which increases his own vulnerability instead of contributing to its reduction. The appearance and functioning of psychological protection can be significantly impeded by the interaction of the investigator with the accused. Even more complicated is the situation when it breaks the communication contact that may arise in the psychological alienation and self-isolation of the accused due to the desire to protect himself.Protective psychological dominance is a real psychic activity that investigators, investigators, investigators and judges need to take into account in order to effectively deal with their task and to overcome the resistance of the investigated persons and in a time to prove in a lawful and moral way their guilt and participation in the commitment of the crimes.

The Molecularly Fielding Psychophysical Nature of the Brain Mental Activity

The brain is a unique organization in nature, having the psychic activity, which is expressed in subjective states: thoughts, feelings, emotions. Knowledge of the nature of mental activity of the brain is the most urgent and the most challenging task of physiology. Historically the neurophysiology developed on the basis of physical and chemical laws discovered in an inanimate nature. Our investigation is devoted towards the origin of a human subjective state, and presents a new methodology for studying of the nature psychic brain activity. We have established the existence of physical phenomena unique for the living brain so-called “psychogenic field”, which reflects the expressed psychic state of human brain. The subjective state of a human being was shown to affect remotely the physicochemical properties of the blood. An original schematic diagram is presented to describe the formation of the brain psychic activity. This approach is based on the feedback influence of a psychogenic field on neuronal molecular processes (self-induction in the brain). We propose a paradigm for the origin of psychic state and possible existence of the fields, which are unique for the brain. The presented scheme and paradigm of systemic organization of psychic activity of the brain are a prerequisite for the subsequent development of the theory consciousness.

Лінгвопсихологічна міжпредметність у визначенні проблематики мовної діяльності в курсі загального мовознавства

The article deals with an approach to interdisciplinarity in teaching Linguistic Science. In order to confirm a linguistic paradigm of cognitive linguistics in the course, the author encounters some unclear scientific terminology of speech activity category in psychology and linguistics. It is analyzed by professor A. S. Zelenko in his study devoted to the analysis of the problem of semantics in linguistics; by psychologist O. A. Zelenko, who claims about the category of general psychology of consciousness, on the basis of which the reforming of higher Ukrainian education is substantiated. Each of the scientists has different subject matters: the first scientisthandles the problems of semasiology, while the main focus of the second scientist is the category of mental activity and consciousness. What combines these two scholars is a conscious aspect of solving their stated problems. On the basis of a comparative analysis of the concepts in psychology and linguistics, it becomes apparent in the aspect of the cognitive paradigm that consciousness is a form of the psychic activity of Elitnyk, which is realized by the language model of the world. It is divided into everyday, artistic and scientific sub-models. The latter arises as structured systems of concepts. Concepts in the aspect of the descriptive paradigm as texts are divided into the whole range of linguistic categories.

Possibility for Recognition of Psychic Brain Activity with Continuous Wavelet Analysis of EEG

The brain is a unique organization in nature, possessing the ability for psychic activity, which manifests itself in thoughts, feelings and emotions. In present days, numbers of mathematical methods for analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) were developed with continuous wavelet transform being one of the most successive approaches for studying of brain activity. This paper is aimed to develop methods for investigation of psychic brain activity with help of continuous wavelet analysis of EEG. Ability of human to realize semantic content of the image presented on the screen was tested. Experiment was accompanied with simultaneous EEG recording, which was held with developed software and PC-based experimental setup. The information capabilities of continuous wavelet transform-based method for EEG analysis were improved for the recognition of specific patterns in human brain activity. Comparative wavelet analysis was carried out for EEG recordings at the moment of awareness of the semantic content of the image and for EEG recordings in the absence of conscious (subjective) perception of the semantic content of the image. Significant differences were shown in the alpha rhythm of EEG for the moments of awareness of the semantic content of the image and for the moments of absence of conscious perception. Continuous wavelet analysis of EEG showed that the alpha rhythm is the main EEG rhythm, which can be used to estimate the presence of subjective perception of the visual image. Significant differences were shown in the alpha rhythm of EEG for the moments of awareness of the semantic content of the image and for the moments of absence of conscious perception. Conducted studies allow to conclude that revealing of brain activity related to visual image awareness is possible through analysis of EEG.
