Abstract
The results of studies of cognitive functions, their age dynamics and gender differences revealed by computer psychophysiological complex KPFK-99 «Psychomat» in healthy school children of various age groups. The study included 241 children aged 8 to 17 years (52% girls and 49% boys). The average age of the observed schoolchildren was 11.8 years. We received cognitive norms of healthy schoolchildren with one year interval, which allows to estimate cognitive activity objectively quantified. We proved the impossibility to join children into the age group teams (such as a junior, middle and senior school age), according to the standards of cognitive functions. A model of cognitive functions evaluation according to the parameters of the psycho-physiological computer complex (KPFK) has been worked out. We proved a steady increase in performance assignments with the forwardness of the children, indicating a smooth improvement of cognitive functions of the child throughout the school-age period. The absence of reliable gender differences in cognitive activity in children of the identical age (as used in the methods), suggests the possibility of co-education of boys and girls in school.
