Neuropsychological potential of the method of «fixed set» of D.N. Uznadze

1452

Abstract

We present a neuropsychological study using the technique of the fixed set in the field of haptic sensation developed by D.N. Uznadze, demonstrating the flexibility of the experimental procedure and the possibility of the method of «fixed set» in dealing with neuropsychological problems. It was shown that the modification of the experimental procedure fixed set techniques in the field of haptic allows you to use it in the analysis of at least two components of human mental activity - mnestic and regulatory. We describe the general results of experiments showing the possibilities of the method in the study of the problem of asymmetry and interhemispheric interaction in normal individuals and patients with disorders of the brain. It stresses the great potential of the method of «fixed set» in the study of neuropsychological syndromes disease of the white matter of the brain.
