Abstract

The article presents the results of a research aimed at identifying the influence of spontaneous drawing on the effectiveness of performing a mental task, and the relationship of spontaneous drawing with personality traits of schoolchildren. It is experimentally proved that spontaneous drawing does not significantly affect the effectiveness of performing a task that requires attention concentration in adolescent schoolchildren. The relation of consciousness and openness to experience with spontaneous drawing in certain age groups is revealed.
