“…In that context, the study of human condition as a mental phenomenon associated with the mental experience of one's own experiences presupposes the study of different aspects of the state representation in consciousness. The proposed conceptual positions for studying mental representations of mental states [16,17] are based on the assumption that the emergence and consolidation of mental states representations are associated with the processing of internal sensations and impressions which pass through the stage of comparison with the content of an earlier experience, form mental structures associated with the actualized state. Emerging mental structures are fixed and enunciate in the memory structures, forming subjective mental experience.…”

The study of the human mental state as a mental phenomenon supposes a study of different parts of representations in the state of consciousness. The emergence and consolidation of mental representations of states associated with the processing of internal sensations and impressions that in comparison with the content of an earlier experience form the mental structures associated with the current state. The aim of research is the study of the dynamics of mental states' representations of students in the experimental exposure. The experiment involved 30 people aged 18-19 years. Investigation of the stability-variability of mental representations was carried out as follows. First recorded baseline characteristics of mental states' representations: associative, evaluative and imaginative. Then students described the current state. Associative characteristics of mental representations before and after the relaxation session differ in sectoral and generative characteristics. Found the impact of the mobilizing effects on the imaginative characteristics of mental states representations: there is an increase of sensitivity to external influences, clarity, awareness of perception, memory improvement. Revealed leading regulatory function of meditation. After the meditation the intensity of evaluative characteristics of mental representations of states close to the average values. The significance of the results obtained is that there is a leading regulatory function of meditative techniques in changing of mental states.

One of the most important topics studied in cognitive psychology is cognitive activity associated with the acquisition, organization and use of knowledge. The question of qualitative and quantitative features of the relationship between reflection and cognitive states remains open. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that for more successful assimilation of new information, an individual, regardless of one's age, must experience certain mental cognitive states in the process of cognition. In particular, attention is drawn to the states of interest, reflection, passion for the object of cognition. This is one of the cognitive states that perform preliminary motivational function. Reflexivity has an impact on various characteristics of the subject (behavior, activity, personality). Reflection allows to realize, evaluate, compare actual state with the desired one, to predict the state in different situations of life, to rebuild the ways of action, etc. that is, the regulation of mental states, their alignment in the desired direction is provided by reflection. Reflection interacting with mental states creates a new quality-awareness and experience of states. It allows students to predict the results obtained, adjust their cognitive activity. As the level of reflection increases, the intensity of mental states increases in persons with high levels of courage and determination, while the intensity of "timid" states decreases as the level of reflection increases. The productivity and success of the development of educational material by students, self-management of their behavior and activities, as well as their own state largely depend on the inclusion of reflection in the educational process. The aim of our research is to identify the specifics of the relationships between the level of reflection and the intensity of cognitive states, determining the intensity of cognitive states depending on the level of reflection. Students of Kazan Federal University (Volga region) were used as the subjects of the research. Students retrospectively evaluated the cognitive states of interest, reflection, enthusiasm. Three methods were used to measure reflexive processes: the technique for diagnosing reflexivity (A. V. Karpov, V. V. Ponomareva), M. Grant's technique and the original technique for diagnosing reflexive processes which reveals the features of recognition, awareness and identification (A. O. Prokhorov, A. V. Chernov). The research data analysis revealed that different characteristics of reflection form significant connections with characteristics of cognitive states. Retrospective reflection seriously determines behavioral reactions in the process of cognition. Reflection of the actual activities, consideration of future activities, identification of the experiences contribute to cognitive characteristics such as emotions, physiological and behavioral responses.

The article is dedicated to the students' social adjustment to acknowledged informative exercises problems. The study uses a modeling method to build preservice teachers social adaptation pedagogical model. The model comprises a list of operations contributory to successful students social evolution to instructional activities. Students' successful conversion to professional activity is permissible under the status of the university, specially organized work, which is focused on the lecturer teaching student composition of natures. The article details the university organizational and pedagogical conditions, which will help the cerebral and social restructuring of students' experience and will form an adequate position in the teaching staff. The following means are proposed which increase the social evolution level: the development of curricula which contribute to the professional social adaptation; the educational practice programs improvement; development of a system of integrated psychological and pedagogical support in the learning process; the organization of the psychological and pedagogical training.
