Abstract

The results of a longitudinal study (data from the monitoring of mental performance (URS) of a subject of mental labor for 34 years) are presented. The laws of URS are distinguished: the existence of at least six to seven types of dynamics of URS in a 1-year cycle; each individual annual has a sawtooth-shaped curve; Typical “quanta” of URS are 40–60 minutes with their variability during the week and month – from 15 to 120 minutes, etc. Repeatability of 6 of dynamics of URS in 1-year periods - with a combination of the external and internal conditions of the subject, different life events – indicates a high consistency in the activity of the physiological and psychological systems of man. The dynamics of URS in different cycles is associated with subjectively significant life events, conditions of the social environment and the “internal conditions” of the subject (state of physical and spiritual health, prospects for professional growth, with social achievements, etc.). In URS modulations, 1-month “increase-decrease” chains comprise about 2/3 of all possible combinations; 2-month double chains - about 1/4 of all combinations of URS monthly dynamics during the year; in the annual dynamics of URS, there is a similar dominance of 1-year modulations of “increase-decrease” of URS (61%) and 2-year-olds (9%). In the dynamics of URS, there is a tendency of self-organization, restoration of the “right order”, its self-maintenance. Probably, the strictly rhythmic alternation of phases “increase-decrease” of URS are its fundamental laws.
