Abstract

The article deals with the interaction of attention and the formation of cognitive functions. It has been revealed that children with limited joint attention may experience difficulties in acquiring a wide range of developmental skills, as well as the ability to use the direction of views or indicate that they should direct attention to other functions with the development of management functions. On a sample of 317 preschool children, a methodology was tested that assessed the understanding of children. A decrease in the accuracy of determining the direction in a group of children with a differential in the control functions was revealed. It was found that the differences are typical for children and children with lower education that can be knitted so that children who participate in joint attention may be available to expand access to training. Changes in the courses that demonstrate the dynamics of cognitive development of the child, which in comparison makes it possible to assess the characteristic differences not only in pathology, but also in reducing the level of the overall level of age development.
