Educational workload and its psychophysiological impact on student organism

Abstract

It is described the method to study students’ stability to perform learning tasks under impact of internal and external factors that includes special tests of performance (cognitive, perceptual, strength and mobility of neural processes, selfassessment, questionnaires) and measurement of physiological parameters in parallel (EEG and/or REG, heart rate, blood pressure). It was confirmed high self-descriptiveness of fluctuation structure of test tasks performance in relation to the physiological “cost” of performance and subjective assessment of mood and capacity. It was revealed a high relationship both rate and accuracy indices of test performance with parameters of speed and density of solar wind that has individual dependence on lag between those parameters with time and had more significant meaning comparing to over-week education workload.
