Research Directions

1. Psycho-physiological features of primary schoolchildren

This direction includes:

b) Following moving objects and resulting reactions.

c) Transmission frequency of attention influenced by 2 signals at the same time

2. Cognitive features of primary schoolchildren

This direction includes:

a) Integrative index of general abilities

b) The presence of imaginative thinking processes

Current Results of the Research

By comparing the results of 3 groups from 2-4 grade children separately we get an idea of psychophysiological and cognitive integrative indices of each group. At the same time, carrying out  a comparative analyze of psychophysiological and cognitive indices of 4^th grade pupils, both studying and not studying chess at school, the efficiency of chess as a school subject, in case of the presence of psychophysiological and cognitive indices, becomes obvious.
