- Abstract
The report develops the results received earlier in a direction of research of quality of the decision-making of the cosmonauts wuth differing sex and temperament with the hemishere asymmetry of a brain. The purpose of research was definition and comparison of relative parameters of the decision-making depending on a level of lateral asymmetry of hemispheres of a brain at representatives of various types of temperament of male and female individuals. These parameters were by the bases for verification of theoretical dependence for estimations of quality of the decision-makings in conditions of weightlessness and overloads. The hypothesis about influence of functional asymmetry on parameters of of quality of the decision-makings was laid in a basis of experiment. Techniques of definition of individual characters of the of quality of the decision-makings were used, and G. Ajzenk's questionnaire EPQ adapted by Prisniakova L. Time of the decision-makings has significant distinctions between representatives of different types of temperament with a various level interchemishere asymmetry of male and female individuals. With increase in expressiveness of the right hemisphere time of the decision-makings tends to reduction at representatives of all types of temperament, the number of erroneous reactions as a whole increases also a level of achievement tends to reduction. Results of time of of the decision-makings correspond with parameter L. Prisniakova which characterizesthe the individual and psychological peculiarities. Earlier the received experimental data of constant time of processing of the information in memory at a period of a sensorimotor reactions of the man and new results for women were used for calculation of these time constants for overloads distinct from terrestrial. These data enable to predict dynamics of behavior of cosmonauts with differing sex in conditions of flight in view of their individual characteristics connected with the hemisphere asymmetry of a brain and with by a various degree of lateralization.
