Abstract

The article analyzes the development of cognitive skills and behavior regulation in five- and six-year-old children. The authors outlined the specifics of the development of cognitive skills and behavior regulation of preschoolers. In Block 1, the authors measured the level of intellectual development. Block 2 included diagnostics of cognitive skills development. In Block 3, the authors evaluated children’s understanding of emotions and their own and other people’s thoughts and feelings using the diagnostic methods developed for preschool children and adapted by A.N. Veraksa, D.A. Bukhalenkova, and O.V. Almazova. The authors widely used the NEPSY-II neuropsychological diagnostic complex’s subtests to assess the mental development of children aged 3 to 16. The authors devised the norms for developing cognitive skills and behavior regulation adapted for a particular Russian region. The obtained results of the study can be used as the basis for planning correctional and developmental activities with preschool children.
