Cognitive functions and success in choreography skills’ formation in secondary school age dancers

Abstract

Purpose:to find connection between level of cognitive functions realization and successfulness of choreography functions formation in junior dancers. Material:32 dancers (16 pair) were tested. Sportsmen's age was 15-16 years; qualification -from first category to candidate master of sports of Ukraine. Results:it was found that functional state of successful sportsmen is manifested in nervous system's high workability, emotional optimization and feeling of personal comfort. Success of junior dancers is conditioned by high cognitive functions: attention, quickness of visual perception, high operative and logic thinking, when processing verbal information. Besides, it is conditioned by quickness of responding to irritator in non-verbal cognitive test. Attention worsens in successful dancers at the account of increase of information processing quickness. It reflects in weakening of effectiveness and stability of test for non-verbal information processing fulfillment. Conclusions:successfulness of technical skillfulness formation depends on cognitive functions and opportunities for their realization: high attention, quickness of visual perception and operative and logic thinking in processing of verbal (non-verbal) information and taking decisions.

“…General coordination abilities can be understood as human readiness for optimal control and regulation of motor and behavioral motions of various origin and content (Kolumbet, 2017;Gjinovci, Idrizovic, Uljevic, & Sekulic, 2017). Other authors point out that the indicators of psycho-physiological functions (sensorimotor, proprioceptive, perceptual, and intellectual) influence the level of manifestation of coordination abilities of a person to a large extent (Korobeynikov, Myshko, Pastukhova, & Smoliar, 2017;Heydari, Soltani, Mohammadi-Nezhad 2018;Shepelenko et al, 2018). In other studies, the need to establish evidence of the relationship between sensory-perceptual, mnemic, intellectual and sensory-motor spheres with indicators of coordination abilities of young athletes (Boychuk et al, 2017;Korobeynikov et al, 2017) is determined.…”

As a result of several long-term experiments, there were no reliable positive correlations among among individual indicators of different coordination abilities and individual indicators of psycho-physiological functions of the majority of school-age children (Hirtz, 1995;Liakh, 2001).…”
