Visual set (by D.N.Uznadze) was studied in three groups of 8-year-old children: children with EEG-signs of immaturity of fronto-thalamic activation system; children with a deficit of non-specific activation from mesencephalic reticular formation; children with normal development of these systems (control group). Children with a deficit of non-specific activation split in two groups: one group was similar to the control group in set-forming, set-shifting and response time dynamics; another group haven't displayed a set actualization stage and had a considerably bigger response time during attention shifting. Children with immaturity of fronto-thalamic system, when compared to the control group, had considerably more contrast illusions at set-testing stage and considerably bigger response time during attention shifting at set actualization stage. These data suggest a participation of fronto-thalamic system in set-forming and set-shifting.
对三组8岁儿童进行了视觉定势（由D.N.乌兹纳泽提出）研究：额丘脑激活系统脑电图显示不成熟的儿童；中脑网状结构非特异性激活不足的儿童；这些系统发育正常的儿童（对照组）。非特异性激活不足的儿童分为两组：一组在定势形成、定势转换和反应时间动态方面与对照组相似；另一组未表现出定势实现阶段，且在注意力转移时反应时间长得多。与对照组相比，额丘脑系统不成熟的儿童在定势测试阶段有更多的对比错觉，在定势实现阶段注意力转移时反应时间长得多。这些数据表明额丘脑系统参与了定势形成和定势转换。
