thinking — rational-logical (theoretic) and emotional-image-bearing (artistic)
— in human development is stated. It is necessary to regain their harmony in

Concerning the genesis of
thinking development in preschoolers
A.
A. Kataeva, T. I. Obuhova, E. A. Strebeleva
Comparative study of normal, deaf and mentally retarded children shows that visual-active thinking evolves when certain level _of perception, object activity and speech, leading to substitution function emergence is obtained. Visual-active thinking though developing early enough is neither initial, nor the most primitive form of thinking. It appears on the basis of visual-image-bearing thinking and of elements of logical one. So, all the fundamental forms of thinking interrelation is confirmed.
I. G. Zhitomirskaya, N. A.
Oreshkina
The problem of preschoolers' intellectual diagnostics is considered. The attempt is made to clarify the role of dialectical mental acts in child's intellectual development. Experimental study of image-bearing form of thinking was performed using L. A. Venger's, N. E. Veraksa's, D. Roeter's, R. Pintner's methods. As many as possible of the peculiarities of 6-years-old children's intellectual development were taken into consideration. Experimental data show that dialectical mental acts comprise independent units of thinking's analysis, so even on the level of image-bearing reflection dialectical thinking plays the role of independent intellectual activity form.
The peculiarities of
"important other" perception in senior schoolchildren
I. G. Dubov, L. M. Smirnov
Experimental data on
structure of "important other" perception in senior schoolchildren
include a compact list of semantically equidistant descriptors of importance of
the other. The schoolchildren used the list for the evaluation of personal
characteristics of 10 the most important for them persons. In order to obtain
reliable results the evaluations were anonymous and the experimenters did not know the identity of
described persons (instruction demanded of a participant to evaluate persons of
both sexes and different age, provoking sympathy and antipathy as well). Four
factors characteristic for the evaluation (emotional attractiveness, business
abilities, extraordinary looks, mysteriousness) were marked out. Some of them
can divide, bearing positive and negative values.
L. S. Milovanova
Historic, theoretic and genetic sides of eugenics are considered. Its development results in the possibility to manipulate human genes for medical and biological-technological purposes. Eugenics in the USSR in the past was made the target of rough ideologization and suffered much damage. As a result genetics' and eugenics' development was delayed for many years. The data of experimental and statistic studies of human intellect genetics are presented.
Reason and purpose approaches
in personality theories' development
V.
A. Bogdanov
Two traditions in scientific cognition (known in psychology as "personality traits paradigm" and situative approach) are analysed. The peculiarities and advantages of them both can be combined in systemological concept of behavior. Russian writers' (whose education included natural sciences and orthodox-humanitarian ones) experience testifies to the necessity and good perspectives of such a synthesis.
Individual activity style
research
V. A. Tolochek
Individual activity style research in Soviet psychology is reviewed. Its stages and characteristics are marked out. The shortcomings of existing individual activity style paradigm (statelyness, retrospectivity, psychocentrism) are stated and their overcoming by object-deterministic approach proposed. The conditiality of individual activity style by physical environment factors, brain structures and objective laws of professional activity is noted. Objective determination of individual activity style and the study of correlation of physical laws and their psychic reflections and the latter's transformation into artificial systems (language, music, ets.) are discussed.
