Reactivity of the right and left hemispheres in 3.5-5-year-old children with different attention efficiency

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Developmental Psychology
• Pediatrics

Background:

• Understanding hemispheric differences in sensory processing is crucial for cognitive development.
• Preschool years are a critical period for the maturation of sensory systems and attention.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze age-specific and individual characteristics of right and left hemisphere sensory systems in preschool children.
• To investigate the role of visual, auditory, and cutaneous sensory zones in attention processes.
• To identify sensorimotor parameters related to functional systems at the perceptive level.

Main Methods:

• Analysis of sensory system characteristics in 3.5-5-year-old children.
• Examination of visual, auditory, and cutaneous sensory zones in both hemispheres.
• Identification of sensorimotor parameters within functional systems.

Main Results:

• Identified age-specific and individual differences in hemispheric sensory system organization.
• Established the link between sensory zone efficiency in both hemispheres and attention processes.
• Defined sensorimotor parameters reflecting functional system structure at the perceptive level.

Conclusions:

• Hemispheric sensory system characteristics significantly influence attention efficiency in preschoolers.
• The identified sensorimotor parameters can aid in diagnosing cognitive inefficiencies.
• This research provides valuable insights for early detection and intervention strategies for learning difficulties.
