SPATIAL-ORGANIZATION OF THE EEC AND INDIV IDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The influence of cognitive styles (analytic versus synthetic style, ri gid versus flexible cognitive control, impulsivity versus reflexivity, field-dependence versus independece) on the information brain process es was estimated by means of analysis of spatial organization of corti cal electrical activity (48 derivations) in 40 right-handed subjects ( aged from 18 to 40) during their realization of verbal and non-verbal tasks using successive and simultaneous processing modes. Modulation o f the <<cognitive axis>> (activity of the left anterior and right post erior cortical areas) was revealed connected with the factor of task s ubjective difficulty, especially in case of simultaneous processing mo de. The combination of the synthetic cognitive style and flexibility o f the cognitive control may be thought of as being the most favourable for the activation of the <<cognitive axis>> and utilization of the l eft- and right-hemispheric information processing, especially in non-s tandard situations.
