COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF CHILDREN’S PSYCHO-PHYSICAL STATE USING VISUAL PSYCHOMOTOR REACTIONS

The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of a comprehensive examination of the psychophysical condition of older preschool children using classical psychodiagnostic testing, immunological methods and oculodynamic parameters of visual afferentation. Visual perception is of leading importance for the intellectual, psychomotor and creative development of the individual, but the mechanisms of visual perception remain the least studied in the context of ensuring cognitive processes in children and adults. Therefore, the research of the mechanisms of visual afferentation remains a promising and relevant direction of modern psychophysiological science, since they are an important component of the cognitive process at all ontogenetic stages of the formation and formation of higher mental functions of the child. immunological methods and oculodynamic parameters of visual afferentation. Research methods: analysis of anamnestic data; study of immunological reactivity; assessment of the state of the autonomic nervous system; determination of the functional state of the visual analyzer; research of individual oculodynamic parameters of visual afferentation and visual perception based on computer pupillography data; statistical data processing. Taking into account that visual afferentation is a leading component of a child’s psychological and psychophysiological state, the authors note the feasibility of using oculodynamic parameters of visual afferentation for individualized assessment of the state of psychomotor and cognitive functions in children. The introduced analysis of relationships between the oculodynamic parameters of visual afferentation, the results of psychological testing and the assessment of the immunological reactivity of the body in children allowed to reveal the presence of significant correlations between the studied indicators. According to the authors, the modern methodology of the interdisciplinary approach requires the involvement of specialists of various profiles for the full implementation of the diagnostic process in children of older preschool age and preparatory groups in order to timely identify the adaptive potential of each child for the organization of oriented psychological and pedagogical activities.
