ASSESSMENT OF THE ADAPTIVE MECHANISM OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AS A RESPONSE TO COGNITIVE ACTIVITY IN STUDENTS

Keywords: cognitive activity, functional status, central nervous system, students, adaptive mechanisms, eye-hand reaction

Abstract

Aim. The purpose of the article is to identify the correspondence of the general functional status of the nervous system in university students to reference values and to evaluate the effectiveness of adaptation to educational and professional activities. Materials and methods. The study involved 111 university students (1st to 3rd year). The study was performed with the NS-PsychoTest hardware and software. Results. The data obtained showed decreased cerebral processing of sensory information in the sample. The highest activation and mobility of nervous processes in the central nervous system were observed in third-year students. This showed enhanced adaptive performance of the central nervous system. Regardless of the year of study, the functional status of the central nervous system corresponded to reference values. Conclusion. Cognitive activity in pedagogical students is ensured by optimally formed cerebral functional systems, as confirmed by neurodynamic processes as a measure of the effectiveness of adaptive cognitive processing mechanisms.
