Th e concept ‘cognitive learning strategies’ and their types is explained, the defi nitions ‘cognive styles’, ‘learning styles’, ‘metacognition’ were analyzed. The results identify that the psychological characteristics responsible for the formation of cognitive learning strategies are, on the one hand, an ‘orientation towards time’, a ‘need for cognition’ and ‘autonomy’ (the factor of ‘constructing your personal space’), and, on the other hand, self-refl ection, high normativity of behavior and self-control (the ‘regulative’ factor).
