Do the results of the sensomotor response reflect the typological properties of the central nervous system?

Abstract

Introduction.During the study, we tried to find out whether the temporal characteristics of sensory-motor response can reflect the typological properties of the central nervous system. Such research is essential to reveal the mechanisms of development of higher mental functions and mental capacity.Purpose.To establish the relationship between the speed characteristics of visual-motor reaction different complexity and individual-typological properties of the central nervous system.Methods.Individual differences of sensorimotor reaction and the properties of the main nervous processes were determined by the method of M. V. Makarenko [8] using the computer system "Diagnost-1". 32 teenagers aged 10-11 were examined. During the study, the indicators of latent periods of simple (SVMR) and complex visual-motor reactions of choice (RC1-2, RC2-3), functional mobility of nervous processes (FMNS) were investigated. Results.Speed characteristics of simple (SVMR) and complex visual-motor reactions of choice of one (RC1-3) and choice of two (RC2-3) excitatory and inhibitory signals were studied in order to 202177use them to assess individual typological properties of the central nervous system (CNS) in adolescents 10-11 years old. There is no evidence of a relationship between the rate of SVMR with different levels of functional mobility (FMNS) of nervous processes in adolescents 10-11 years old.The reaction rate did not differ statistically and was the same in representatives with high, medium and low levels oftypological properties of nervous system. The results of the correlation analysis between SVMR and FMNP were r = 0.13 (p = 0.59), which indicated no relationship between them. The relationship of sensorimotor response time with individual-typological features of the CNS was established in complex information differentiation RC2-3. The temporal characteristics of RC2-3 were dependent on the individual-typological properties of the CNS.The reaction rate of RC2-3 was higher in adolescents 10-11 years old with high levels of -3 were r = 0.35 (p = 0.034).The results show that the velocity characteristics of complex neurodynamic acts, in contrast to simple ones, can be used as quantitative characteristics of the typological properties of the CNS.Originality.The results of our research may be evidence that the indicator RC2-3 can be used as an additional informative criterion for assessing the individual-typological properties of the higher parts of the central nervous system.Conclusion. The temporal characteristics of SVMR and RC1-3 cannot be considered as informative criteria for assessing the individual-typological properties of CNS in adolescents 10-11 years. Time characteristics of RC2-3 differentiation reactions can be used as additional indicators for assessing the individual-typological properties of higher nervous activity in adolescents 10-11 years, namely, the level of functional mobility of nervous processes.Key words:processing of information of various complexity, speed characteristics of simple reactions, motor acts of choice and differentiation, individual-typological properties, functional mobility of nervous processes

Study of the reaction of the choice of combat athletes using computer technology

“…Based on the analysis of scientific and methodological literature (Kozina et al, 2011;Lyzohub et al, 2021;Podrigalo et al, 2017), analysis of the competitive activity of combatants of various specializations, conversations with coaches and qualified athletes, the computer program "Visuomotor Choice Reaction" to assess a complex visual-motor reaction, a reaction of choice.…”

Study of the psychomotor abilities of athletes in cyclic sports, martial arts and esports

“…They characterize the process of formation and improvement of special motor skills in the conditions of sports activity (Korobeinikov et al, 2012). Psychomotor abilities determine the coordination of motor actions with nervous processes and determine the ability of athletes to perform high-quality motor actions (Lyzohub et al, 2021). The time of sensorimotor reactions is one of the simplest, most accessible, and at the same time quite accurate neurophysiological indicators that reflect the dynamics of nervous processes and human motor coordination (Rovnyiy & Romanenko, 2016).…”

“…The adequacy of reactions of psychophysiological functions to training or competitive loads can be an indicator of both the level of preparedness of an athlete and the development of fatigue and overstrain processes in him (Podrigalo, L. et al, 2019). Training and competitive activities in martial arts contribute to the formation of a whole complex of specific reactions and perception abilities in athletes (Lyzohub et al, 2021;Iermakov et al, 2016). They are based on the threshold of perception of stimuli entering different sensory systems.…”
