The main principles that guide the developers of diagnostic techniques are the principles of studying the natural behavior of children, which implies a minimal invasion of the researcher into the usual everyday forms of behavior of the child. Often to implement these principles, various ways of motivating a child for gaming activities are used, as a result of which various individual and age-specific mental characteristics of the development of children of primary school age are manifested. To date, the most known are the various scales of development of preschool children, which provide for standardized observations of the behavior of the child and subsequent comparative analysis of the data obtained and the age norms of development of children of this age category.
