the sequence of stages of the child’s neuropsychological development:
1) The stage of initial biological maturation (infancy and early childhood) – genetic and physiological factors dominate that form the basic maturation of brain structures and the biological basis of mental functions.
2) The stage of intensive social interaction (preschool age) – family, speech and play as the leading type of activity play a key role in the development of higher mental functions: attention, self-regulation and thinking – which reflects the significant influence of environmental and cultural factors on the development of the child.
3) The stage of formal education (school) – the higher mental functions: attention, logical thinking and voluntary memory – become more pronounced, and individual differences between children begin to manifest themselves clearly, which makes it possible to develop educational and therapeutic interventions that take into account the individual abilities and needs of each child.
