Objectives of the study
Analytical-synthetic activity in visually perceived objects (first and second options) and on the basis of mental representation (third option) is studied. Ability to make generalizations. Logical validity and purposefulness. Clarity of presentation. Using help.

Equipment
Three drawings of varying complexity.
In the figure (APPENDIX 1) there are three squares, each with four figures, one of which does not fit according to one characteristic (size, color, shape). Offered to children from 5 years old.
In the figure (APPENDIX 2) there are three squares, each with four objects: three from one generic group, and the fourth from another generic group. Offered to children from 6 years old.
In the figure (APPENDIX 3) there are three squares, each with four word-concepts, one of which does not fit. Offered to children from 7 years old.

Procedure
APPLICATIONS 1, 2, 3 are offered in turn.

When working with APPENDIX 1, the instruction is: “Tell me what doesn’t fit here?”
When working with APPENDIX 2, they first ask you to name what is drawn, and then ask: “What doesn’t fit here?” Help: “There are three objects (pictures) that are somewhat the same, but one doesn’t fit. Which one?”
When working with APPENDIX 3, the researcher himself reads the words, and then asks the child to name the word that does not fit the others. If the answer is correct, they are asked to explain the choice.

Analysis of results

Children with normal mental development understand the purpose of the task and independently identify the feature that distinguishes the figure from the rest. Give a verbal justification for the principle of identifying a figure. When working with pictures, they are also able to make independent generalizations and justify the selection of an inappropriate picture. When highlighting concept words, re-reading is sometimes required. Leading questions are sufficient to correct execution. It must be borne in mind that the level of development of generalization at this age varies among children. Some immediately identify essential signs, others pay attention to secondary signs. This indicates insufficient formation of the higher levels of generalization. However, in children with normal mental development there are no cases of inadequate performance of this task.

Children are mentally retarded do not understand instructions and do not complete tasks independently. By the age of 6-7 years, they visually distinguish size and color, but find it difficult to make verbal generalizations even with leading questions. The task (APPENDIX 3) is not available to them at this age.

Delayed children mental development understand the instructions and complete the tasks (APPENDIX 1). The task (APPENDIX 2) to establish clan groups and justify them is difficult. Organizational assistance is effective. Work with the selection of words and concepts (APPENDIX 3) is carried out with leading questions, repeated readings, and clarifications. Children have difficulty explaining the principle of selection. They have the greatest difficulties with verbal justification.

This technique is intended for children from 4 to 5 years old and duplicates the previous one for children of this age. It is designed to explore the processes of figurative and logical thinking, mental operations of analysis and generalization in a child. In the method, children are presented with a series of pictures (APPENDIX 4), which present different objects, accompanied by the following instructions:
“In each of these pictures, one of the four objects depicted in it is the odd one out. Look carefully at the pictures and determine which item is superfluous and why.”
3 minutes are allotted to solve the problem.

Evaluation of results

10 points- the child solved the task assigned to him in less than 1 minute, naming the extra objects in all the pictures and correctly explaining why they are extra.
8 —9 points- the child correctly solved the problem in a time from 1 minute to 1.5 minutes.
6 —7 points— the child completed the task in 1.5 to 2.0 minutes.
4 -5 points— the child solved the problem in a time from 2.0 to 2.5 minutes.
2 —3 points- the child solved the problem in a time from 2.5 minutes to 3 minutes.
0—1 point- the child did not complete the task in 3 minutes.

Conclusions about the level of development

10 points- very tall
8 —9 points- high
4 —7 points- average
2
—3 points- short
0 - 1 point - very low

INTERPRETATION:

SCALE FOR ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE GENERALIZATION OPERATION

Number of points

Characteristics of problem solving

The subject correctly and independently names the generic concept to designate:

5
---
----
5

First he names the generic concept incorrectly, then he corrects the mistake:

4
---
----
4
1) to designate objects (words) combined into one group;
2) to designate an “extra” object (word).

Independently gives a descriptive characteristic of a generic concept to denote:

2,5
---
---
2,5
1) Objects (words) combined into one group;
2) an “extra” object (word).

The same, but using the researcher to indicate:

1
---
---
1

2) an “extra” object (word).

Cannot define a generic concept and does not know how to use help to designate

0
---
---
0
1) objects (words) combined into one group;
2) an “extra” object (word).

If the subject copes with the first three to four tasks and makes mistakes as they become more difficult, or he solves the task correctly, but cannot explain his decision or choose a name for a group of objects, then we can draw a conclusion about his intellectual
insufficiency.
If the subject explains the reason for combining objects into one group not according to their generic or categorical characteristics, but according to situational criteria (that is, he comes up with a situation in which all objects are somehow involved), then this is an indicator of concrete thinking, the inability to build generalizations based on essential characteristics.
