ASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONAL ASYMMETRY IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WITH MENTAL RETARDATION
The results of the study of formation of functional asymmetry in preschool children with mental retardation. It was conducted with using of methods of assessing the nature of motor asymmetry using the hardware-software complex "Functional asymmetry". Assesses the state of laterality of motor responses, choice reaction time, cross hands and feet on the choice of lateralized stimulus. A feature displays the characteristics of functional asymmetry of the brain in the motor sphere of children with mental retardation had expressed their variability. Significant differences of reaction time to light of children with mental retardation and developing normally, then, as a reaction to the sound no different. The reaction leading to the light eyes and a leading hand in normally developing children was significantly better than that of children with mental retardation. No differences were found reactions implemented using lower limbs. The main set was the fact that the high-grade developing children in general, the formation of motor asymmetry was more pronounced than in children with mental retardation. Such specificity of formation of the scope of the study locomotor categories of preschool children is the basis for targeted changes of adaptive physical education of children with mental retardation.
