According to psychologists, the interaction of the individual with the environment can be carried out only if it has its own, individual "big picture."The subject, forming unbiased image of the object, in the process of mental reflection.Moreover, under the image of the object in this case refers to the properties, effects, events, external or internal world.What is it that a mental reflection and what is its significance for the subject and for the person in the first place?
essence of mental reflection.
Under the Soviet school of psychological study of mental reflection engaged in by representatives of the cultural and historical concept.Mental reflection there is a guideline-regulatory process of formation of the conditions in which the activity takes place.The result of this reflection is a mental image, iea subjective set of data on the external or internal world, allowing direct operation to meet the needs.This should make an important observation: mental reflection - it is always a process, completely related to the subject himself.The image he is an individual and that no entity created it, does not make sense.In addition, the image is not static, it exists only in the moment immediately the process of reflection of the objective reality of mental processes.They, in turn, are inseparable and not isolated to one another.Understanding of the process of the psyche as a "thinking", "perception" or "imagination" is the only model of the psyche, in reality it is holistic and unified.
mental reflection is used to create a structured and integral image of the dismembered objects of reality.
BF Lomov singled levels of psychic reflection:
- sensory-perceptive - a base level build mental images, in the development process arising in the first place, however, does not lose relevance in the follow up.The subject, based on information supplied by stimulating the senses real objects, builds its own strategy of behavior.Simply put, the stimulus causes a reaction: event that occurs in real time, affects the subsequent action of the subject, its causes.
- level representations.The image may occur without the direct influence of the object on the senses of the subject, ie, it is imagination, memory, creative thinking.Due to the repeated appearance of the object in the area of ​​perception of the subject, some of the most important features of the first memory, are eliminated from the minor why there is an image, regardless of the immediate presence of the stimulus.Man learns to handle images of objects has, relatively speaking, he had seen once before, are not represented in the current situation.The main function of the level of mental reflection: planning, monitoring and corrective action at the domestic level, drawing up standards.
- Verbally logical thinking or rechemyslitelnyh level.Operations at this level is even less related to the actual event-next time.The individual operates logical concepts and methods that emerged in the course of the cultural and historical development of mankind.Abstracting from their own direct experience, the imagination and the memory of the events that took place in his life, he is focused and building activities, drawing on the experience of mankind in general.Those concepts, definitions and conclusions that have been made not by him.It provides the ability to plan and manage events of various kinds and temporal distance, up to the planning of the individual life path.
Despite the significant difference between the third and the first entry-level processes of sensory and rational regulation of the constantly flowing from one to the other, forming a mental reflection in the variety of its levels and images.
