Methods for the study of mental processes, properties and conditions. /part 4/
The most significant results he receives with Wexler methodology for the study of the elderly. The value of Wexler's methodology is that it can not only provide a general assessment of the level of intelligence but also to determine verbal and non-verbal intelligence separately. Classical methods of exploration of the intellect can also be used by Amthauer's method, the method of Raven's progressive matrices, the Ketel method. Methods for measuring the response time of a person - such as a person's reaction time, is the shortest amount of time that a person needs to process incoming information into his or her mental system until the beginning of a corresponding response to that information.
And in this sense, the reactions of the personality are two types: sensory motor and speech engine. The term reaction time refers only to reactions that have a voluntary nature. This term is related to the term latent reaction period. This term refers to voluntary and involuntary reactions. This method was developed in Wund's laboratory. The response time of a person in various life situations is determined by the action of a number of objective and subjective factors. The main tasks that are solved with these methods are mainly to study the role and attention to it of a number of personality features, namely: motives and attitudes; attention and its qualities; emotional state; cognitive processes; age and gender; physical condition; the use of opiates, tobacco and pharmacological agents. Methods of Attention Studies - it is a mental process that ensures the direction of the person's mental activity on the signals from the external and internal environment. Attention is irrevocably present in any psychic act, so it can be concluded that attention is a basic condition for successful or unsuccessful performance by people of different types of activity.
Hence the great importance of his experimental research. Research methods that are categorized into different types depending on the main attributes of attention are: - methods of examining the sustainability of attention - sustainability is a quality of attention that is characterized by the degree of concentration of consciousness on an object or activity. Several specially designed tests, called correction tables, are used to test the persistence of attention. These tests are most often applied in the form of blanks. The investigated person is required to scrutinize carefully and consistently all the signal signs in his table from left to right and to find and mark the assigned in the preliminary instruction; - methods of examining the concentration and intensity of attention - the focus of attention is to clearly highlight the object and direct attention to it with simultaneous abduction of everything else.
To investigate the focus of attention, the same correction tables are used, which are used to investigate the persistence of attention. But the procedure of doing the experiments is different. In this case, the person under investigation is required to review and scratch, according to his instructions, certain sign-signals, by determining in advance the number of signs and the duration of the experience; - methods of studying switching / flexibility / attention - switching attention is a quality that expresses the ability of the individual to consistently direct their minds to different areas and activities while preserving the effectiveness of the activity being performed.
