IDEA OF THE REFLECTION RING (ARC) IN THE HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY

Abstract

The article deals with the history of the formation of the ideas of the reflex ring to explain human behavior. The most important steps of enriching scientific ideas in the history of psychological science are described: from the reflex arc to the reflex ring. The peculiarities of the introduction of the feedback principle in the motion control of the ring scheme were explained, which explained the adequate determination of the stimulus and the logically and naturally completed response. It is analyzed how the ring reaction scheme explains the assimilating feeling and the integrating function of the images. The purpose of the study is to find out the essence of the development of the ideas of the reflex ring as a scheme of interrelation of motility and psyche. Results. It was found that R. Descartes, who by his works created a powerful impetus for the transition of psychological knowledge from purely philosophical to empirical foundations, played a significant role in the formation of the ideas of the reflex ring, T. Hobbes, who created a system of psychology containing the foundations for the development of materialistic deterministic determinism. behavior (associations); G. Leibniz, who stated that perception depends on the experience of the subject (apperception) and outlined a certain cyclical pattern of functioning of this process; D. Berkeley, who applied the reflex ring (arc) scheme in his theory, which explained the functioning of vision. However, the idea of the reflexive ring to explain the behavior of the subject is finally formed in the writings of J. Dewey. L.V. Chkhaidze divided the reflex ring into internal and external as they play different roles in the management of human psychomotor acts.
