[Activation of processes of perception and visual memory in teaching pathological anatomy]

The comparative study of different methods of student work with macroscopical preparations and different variants of slides presentation is performed. The volume of the demonstrative material reproduction was checked one week after the presentation. It was required to list in a control card a full name of macro- and microscopical preparations presented. The results of assimilation of the macroscopical preparations in collective stand demonstration and in work with the preparations in small groups or individually were evaluated. The highest level of remembering is established when every student works individually in a special room having the possibility to use textbooks and gets a preliminary notice on the reproduction of the information obtained (evaluation, control of the knowledge). The efficiency of remembering depends on both quantity and quality of the material, the presence of logical and associative links, the imagery of words in the accompanying text.
