| Summary: | The article features the results of the research that considers qualitative characteristics of thinking as a cognitive mental process. The research group included young people and adolescents. The study focused on the dependence of conceptual thinking on its flexibility and fluency in verbal and figurative form. The leading methods involved I. M. Luichiny’s Methodology Study of the Activity of Thinking" (MSAT) and Diagnostics of the Development Level of Logical-Conceptual Thinking test. Indicators of conceptual thinking have a significant positive correlation with the parameters of figurative fluency of thinking and negative relationship with the parameters of verbal flexibility of thinking. The effectiveness of conceptual thinking is provided by the following indicators of thinking activity: a high level of figurative fluency allows one to use the entire scope of familiar visual or kinesthetic images to solve standard problems, and a low level of verbal flexibility promotes high dynamics of the process, using its own actual repertoire of concepts, thereby saving time in search of new terminological strategies. |
