DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE PROCESSES IN CHILDREN OF PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE

Abstract

. In order to study features of development of cognitive processes of primary school age, this work studied features of development and formation of cognitive processes of children of primary school age on the basis of empirical research according to the following methods: the technique of “Estimating the volume of short-term auditory memory; “Comparison of Concepts” technique for studying thinking; method of “Studying arbitrariness of attention”; the “Completing Figures” technique for studying imagination; the “What’s missing in these pictures?” technique; the levels of development of attention, memory, thinking, imagination and perception are studied. Theoretical aspects of the development of cognitive functions in children of primary school age are considered. The work provides a brief analysis of the development of each cognitive process, the stages of development of cognitive processes in primary school children are also diagnosed and studied, where the levels of their development are identified, the cognitive process “attention”, other cognitive processes showed the same percentage, “imagination” is at a low level of development. These research results confirm our hypothesis that cognitive processes do not have the same level of development and the need for their targeted development in the learning process.
