Abstract

Article presents working memory span specifics in empirical background and the approach of patterns of visual geometric information processing research by using L. Cheremoshkina mnemonic abilities’ diagnostic method in experimental studies’ series on over 1500 young people from primary school until student’s level. It allows studying the mechanisms of visual geometric abstractive material processing in the progress from short-term memory storage to long-term memory storage, which results of mnemonic activity’s experimental research are described.
