Abstract

Topical issue was to study the system organization of experience which ensures the solution of analytical and holistic tasks. It was assumed that the set of functional systems that are updated to solve various problems differs which is manifested in brain activity and these differences are mediated by whether an analytical or holistic individual solves a task of “his" type or not. A study of brain support for the process of analytical and holistic task’ solving by representatives of the analytical and holistic subpopulations of Russian culture was conducted (N = 52). It was shown that holistic problems are solved faster and more correctly than analytical ones which is consistent with the idea of the holistic nature of Russian culture. At the same time, as learning progressed, there was an improvement in performance in tasks of the "non-own" type, i.e., holistic tasks in analytical individuals, and vice versa, in comparison with tasks specific to the mentality of individuals. The differences between the components of event-related potentials that arise when solving problems of different types by analytical and holistic individuals are obtained including the P300 sub-peaks when solving an analytical problem by analytical individuals. The obtained differences in event-related potentials are compared with the criteria of analytical and holistic problems that we identified earlier. The directions of further research of the learning process in individuals with different mentalities are discussed.
