Luria Pediatric Neuropsychology Research Center (PNRC) with children with learning difficulties that are manifested in attentional defects; difficulties assimilating the school program; impaired interaction with teachers and peers; behavioral abnormalities; emotional immaturity; and lack of formation of a sense of responsibility, communication skills and adaptive behavior. It is well known from discussions with parents that before coming to the Center most of them attempted to improve their children’s academic performance with the aid of supplemental educational activities (in school or with tutors), tightening discipline, or resorting to medical care. None of these methods, however, was successful: for a short time the quality of the children’s behavior and learning would improve, but then would return to the previous level, which would create a constant reason for rebukes from teachers and the school administration. As a result, the parents were forced to look for other means of assistance, and this search brought them to the PNRC. When parents come to the PNRC with a child, the work is structured as follows: at the first meeting with a psychologist, the Center’s specialists not only study the medical and pedagogical documentation, examining the child’s level of performance and the nature of his mistakes in written work, but also analyze (with the aid of a specially designed questionnaire) the history of the child’s prenatal, perinatal, and early postnatal development in order to identify the psychological, biological, and social mechanisms of the difficulties being experienced by the child.

The first data on the lateralization of brain function date back to the time of Hippocrates, when the connections between unilateral head injuries and contralateral convulsions were observed and described. By the beginning of the nineteenth century an ample amount of facts had been amassed concerning the nonequivalence of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. E.D. Khomskaia [2005], discussing the historical aspect of the study of the functional asymmetry of the brain, maintains that the theory of functional asymmetry went through several stages in its development. The first, classical concept of functional asymmetry was based on the postulate that the functions of the right and left hemispheres were absolutely opposite to each other. It was believed that the left hemisphere was completely dominant for speech and all mental processes, while the right one was given a subordinate role in organizing mental activity. Moreover (according to J. H. Jackson), the dominance itself was understood as the leading role of the left hemisphere. By the mid-nineteenth century, the interest of researchers had shifted from the study of the left hemisphere of the brain to the right one. The theory of functional asymmetry, reinforced by new data, was named “the concept of relative dominance” [ibid.]. It was still based on the idea of the opposition of functions of the left and right hemispheres and affirmed the notion of the relative dominance of the left hemisphere in regard to speech function and to speech-mediated mental processes (among righthanders) and the relative dominance of the right hemisphere in organizing nonverbal gnostic functions.

Any activity is based on the fact that an image of a percept is retained in memory for at least a few seconds. Memory enables the accumulation of impressions about the environment and serves as the basis for the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and their subsequent utilization. L.S. Vygotsky believed that in early childhood memory is one of the central mental functions on which the creation of all the other functions depends. The thinking of a child in his early years is largely determined by his memory. Thinking for him means remembering [Vygotsky, 2003]. The retention of experience makes it possible to teach a child and to develop his psyche (perception, thinking, speech, etc.). Success in teaching a child is largely determined by his ability to remember, which can and must be developed. “Memory is a form of mental reflection of reality that consists of the consolidation, retention and subsequent retrieval by a person of his experience” [Psikhologicheskii slovar’, 1996, p. 249].","PeriodicalId":308330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian & East European Psychology","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123867558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A neuropsychological examination shows that the issue is by no means intellectual disability: in many texts the child does in fact display uncommon quick-wittedness and cleverness. In other tests, however, difficulties are apparent. Upbringing and training play a highly important role both in a child’s intellectual development and in the development of his thinking abilities in particular [Halstead, 1947]. An adult introduces the child to his surrounding reality and communicates to him his first information about the phenomena of nature and society, without which the development of thought would be impossible. We should point out, however, that simple memorization of specific facts and passive assimilation of knowledge cannot yet ensure the proper development of children’s thought. In order for a child to begin thinking, he must be confronted with a problem such that in solving it he can apply previously received knowledge to new circumstances.
