AGE PECULIARITIES OF REPRESENTATION FORMATION IN SCHOOLCHILDREN AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Abstract

The research uses the method of cross sections to identify the current trends in the development of representations among schoolchildren and undergraduate students. The article is an attempt to answer the following question: what is the role of individual features of representation, certain individually changeable integral features of performance at various stages of school and university education? It features the results of the study of the integral characteristics (brightness-clearness, controllability and liveliness), taking into account age and different modalities of representation. This study reveals the contribution of each of the integral features of representation throughout the period of study by highlighting age-related peculiarities of formation of representations in pupils and students. The study has identified two distinct phases, characterized by different dynamics of representation formation, the school period and the higher education period. The first one displays the following features: a decrease in liveliness and a simultaneous increase in brightness-clearness, controllability, and ability to representations brightness-clearness. The second period shows an increase in liveliness and simultaneous decrease in brightness-clearness, controllability and ability to representations of the brightness-sharpness of representations.
