Abstract

This paper describes experimental study of cognitive performance degradation in high school students as the response to the psychophysiological changes in their activity support. The technique of studying the stability of cognitive abilities of high school students has revealed significant fluctuations in the speed and reliability of simple cognitive test tasks. A strong correlation between subjects’ cognitive test activity and individual properties of their cardiovascular and nervous system, as well as energy regulation and solar physiological parameters (speed and density of solar wind) has been revealed (R = 0.88 … 0.91, p < 0.01). It is articulated that identified features of cognitive activity require further investigation and clarification of the mechanisms of regulation of such activity.
