Journal Title: KutBilim Journal of Social Sciences and Arts - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The results of long-term studies of individual psychological differences conducted using neuropsychological approach were presented. It is based on the idea that the features of interhemispheric asymmetry are indirectly manifested in the lateral organization of the main analyzer systems: motor, auditory, auditory-speech, visual. An individual set of lateral features characterizes the lateral profile of an individual. It is assumed that, depending on the specific profile of a person, the left-hemisphere or right-hemisphere strategy of processing information and regulating functions prevails, and this, accordingly, determines his individual characteristics. The individual psychological characteristics, differences in indicators of the functional state and individual health for representatives of different lateral types are described. In particular, young men with left-sided signs in the visual system were characterized by the best objective indicators of health and low subjective assessments. In girls, the indicators of cognitive processes differ with the predominance of different signs of functional asymmetry in the motor manual system, and the fluctuations of these indicators during the ovarian menstrual cycle - with differences in the lateral organization of not only the manual, but also the visual sphere.
