Abstract
The article discusses neurodynamic peculiarities of humanities students aged 18–21 living in Central Priobye using “NS-Psychotest” device. The study has revealed statistically significant gender differences. Young men have shown higher responsiveness of simple visuomotor reaction (6,9% higher) as well as higher choice reaction and noise immunity (5–6% higher). Girls have demonstrated excellence when performing complicated cognitive tasks (2–3% higher). Age and gender standards of sensomotor reactions with a percentile corridor for students of Central Priobye have been identified. It is concluded that the results obtained are consistent with the data of other Russian studies and confirm regional and ethnic specificity of neurodynamic indices, which makes it possible to use them to assess a functional state of central nervous system and predict students’ academic success.
