Аннотация

Abstract—From the standpoint of a new theory of chaos and self-organization with the use of novel modeling methods, the dynamics of the behavioral cues of a student’s psychological state in multifaceted activity have been analyzed. The Bourdon attention test modified by P.A. Rudick was used to measure attention levels. A comparative statistical analysis of the results has been carried out to assess the properties of attention in students of different ages who live in the Surgut and Samara regions. The dynamics of the changes in the K, E, and A variables have been explored and the coefficients have been calculated for the entire test and for each minute of the experiment. The characteristics of the attention development in students have been investigated and the age- and sex-related differences, as well as the difference in the attention indices in students, have been determined.
