Abstract

In this paper a psychophysiological approach to learning is developed based on Ukhtomsky’s dominance principle. Within this framework, many current problems of pedagogy, such as the formation of personality and creative capacities, individual approaches to teaching, recommendable mental workloads, as well as the prophylactics of deviant behavior and rehabilitation of children with developmental difficulties and disabilities find their substantiation. We present the results of brain dominants research in children with different types of behavior and in left-handed individuals. The author’s method of psychophysiological diagnostics helps to reveal the mechanisms of normal and deviant intellectual development and behavior, and allows us to reassess opportunities of psychophysiological correction and rehabilitation.
