Background: Currently, many researchers suggest that for patients with schizophrenia, impulsivity more often manifests in the form of impairment of the control of the impulse of action. The most widely used instrument for research of this disorder is the Go/No-Go test. There is evidence that the indicator of this test in patients with schizophrenia...

Background. Disorders of social cognition proved to be a frequent sign in patients with schizophrenia, interfering with improvement of their social functioning. The assessment of these disorders in daily practice is important for the development of effective rehabilitation programs for these patients. This article presents a new test for evaluating...

Background: impaired impulse control is thought to be an important hallmark of schizophrenia, which is closely related to the dysfunction of many of the neurophysiological systems of the central nervous system characteristic of the disease. The presence of increased impulsivity requires special attention in view of the risks associated with it, bot...

The present article addresses and structures the history of the application of the Rorschach test during the period of 1923 to 1936 in the Soviet Union. Hermann Rorschach visited the Russian Empire three times and was familiar with Russian psychoanalysts. His test was published in 1921 in Switzerland. By 1923 was published I.N. Dyakov's article wit...

Background. The article discusses the possibilities and prospects of using virtual reality (VR) technology as a method of relaxation in schizophrenic patients in remission. It is known that the effectiveness of antipsychotic drugs is limited. In this regard, the development of complementary therapy with non-pharmacological methods can expand the ra...

The spread of virtual reality technologies raises the question of the formation of new practices of digital sociality, including encountering destructive communication. The article is devoted to an experimental study of the behavioral reactions of adolescents acting as bystanders of cyberaggression situation in an immersive virtual environment, inc...

Introduction The integration of virtual reality into everyday life is changing sociocultural practices, including those related to cyberaggression, which causes negative consequences for mental health and well-being. Particular attention needs to be paid to the poorly researched but widespread roles of bystanders and defenders in cyberaggression (M...

This paper explores, through the diary method, the daily activities of adolescents in offline, online, and mixed reality. Particular attention is paid to two new formats of activity: Internet user activity, including hyperconnectivity, and media multitasking, which attract more and more attention from researchers. These types of activities are not...

September 23, 2020 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of E. N. Sokolov, one of the founders of Russian psychophysiology. A significant role in E. N. Sokolov's research career belongs to A. R. Luria, who collaborated extensively with E. N. Sokolov in the 50s and endorsed the establishment of the Department of Psychophysiology and the development...

The article presents the phenomenon of multitasking, representing simultaneous execution of two or more mental operations. Its particular type, media multitasking (MMT), is also considered as a relatively new format for combining various information flows that meets the requirements of the digital environment. The historical perspective of studying...

This exploratory research addresses the phenomenon of media multi-tasking being widely spread among children and adolescents in the context of digital socialization. The switch between different digital environments requires attention with regard to studying the relation of a media multitasking strategy to cognitive strategies and productiveness of...

The effects of working memory load, cognitive processing complexity and interference on working memory span were studied. It was hypothesized that working memory consists of independent functionally distinct components related to information storage and processing. Three experiments with 36 subjects were conducted. Working memory load, interference...

The absolute squares of cingulate cortex (anterior, posterior ventral, posterior dorsal, retrosplenial regions) were calculated on magnetic resonance images of 29 subjects (60-76 years old) and compared with subjects’ neuropsychological memory characteristics. The results demonstrate significant correlations between overall performance and the amou...

Neuropsychological characteristics of verbal working memory (memory capacity, permanency, and different types of memory errors) of 43 healthy subjects of older age were compared with the anatomical characteristics of their brain structures (volume of the hippocampi and the caudate nuclei, size of the cingulate-cortex regions of both hemispheres). T...

This study presents data from a magnetic-resonance morphometric (MRMM) analysis of the main regions of the cingulate cortex (in both hemispheres) and their role in memory processes in a group of healthy, females of older age. The results demonstrate a statistically reliable correlation between overall performance and the type of errors in different...
