[The individual characteristics of the physiological support for the activities of schoolchildren while learning to work on a computer].

The ECG was recorded by telemetry in schoolchildren when they learned computer tasks. Successfulness of learning was estimated. The EEG was recorded with the same psychophysiological parameters (simple and complex reaction times, search for orders of numbers in special tables and others) under the laboratory conditions. Neuroemotional stress (NES) during computer learning as measured by the heart rate parameters was shown to depend on the stable individual characteristics. NES was significantly higher in introverts than in extraverts (determined by Eysenck's questionnaire). The most prominent physiological signs of NES were revealed at the stages of computer task learning when mistakes in computer programs were searched for and corrected. The speed of learning of computer tasks was found to be proportional to a lability of autonomic heart rate regulation and to be correlated with such psychophysiological parameters as decision making time, the number of false preliminary reactions and others.
