THE DEVELOPMENT OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY IN UKRAINE AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF DOMESTIC SCIENTISTS TO ITS FORMATION

Abstract

The article analyzes the historical origins of the emergence of psychophysiology in Ukraine as an independent direction of scientific and applied research. It is established that the ideas of psychophysiological support of activity arose in the era of the Ukrainian Cossacks, when unique ideas about the relationship between the psyche, physical and military-professional training were implemented through the practice of Cossack education of the personality.

It was found that among the Cossacks, charakterists were distinguished, individuals capable of self-regulation, suggestion, which determined the effectiveness and indomitability of fighting spirit when performing tasks in stressful conditions.

The relevance of this study is due to the need for a detailed analysis of the historical origins of the formation of psychophysiology, which allows us to more deeply comprehend its methodological principles, assess the current state and determine the main directions for the further evolution of this integrative scientific discipline.

It is determined that since 1945, scientific research has been carried out at the Institute of Psychology named after G. S. Kostyuk of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, where 15 scientific laboratories operate, and the laboratory of psychophysiology was created in 1975.

Special attention is paid to the contribution of outstanding Ukrainian scientists whose activities significantly influenced the development of psychophysiology. Their main ideas and scientific achievements, which became the basis of theoretical and experimental research, are considered in the context of the modern development of this science.

The article emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of psychophysiology and its importance for understanding the functional mechanisms of mental activity and human behavior.
