Abstract

The manifestation of dexterity and ingenuity determines the development of motor abilities and, as a result, the flexibility of thinking and other mental processes. Based on the level theory of N.A. Bernshtein, we identified the main structures of level violations for building work on the regulation of the psychological state of the child. A procedure was created for collecting and analyzing the psychomotor development of a child aged 4 to 12 years. We have classified psychomotor development, the classification was based on the theory of the level organization of movements by N.A. Bernshtein. Three necessary conditions for harmonious psychomotor development were identified. The first condition is “Feeling-doing”, level B. Development takes place within the boundaries of one's own body. With underdevelopment of level B, one can often observe uncertainty in behavior when interacting with the environment, on the other hand, vulnerability, which sometimes provokes aggressive behavior. The second condition is “I see, I do, level C. Development takes place in the environment, in active interaction with objects. With underdevelopment of level C, in most cases, problems of boundaries (bodily, social) are highlighted. In psychomotor terms, one can observe clumsiness, especially when interacting with space, in social terms: difficulties in getting into contact (excessive obsession or shyness). The third condition is "I represent-I do." Development takes place in the space of living communication, appropriation of the main signs and meanings of the cultural environment. With underdevelopment of levels D, E, poor attention, memory, orientation in the area, interaction with household items, and a decrease in social and emotional intelligence can be observed. The development of the child's psychomotor skills ensures the generalization of new motor commands and thought processes and, as a result, mediates the harmonious development of the child's states.
