This paper reports the findings of an investigation of preschool Euro-American children in which were explored the relationship of individual differences in racial bias and white-black color bias to the children's general responses to light and darkness, and to certain maternal attitudes and personality traits. Using the Preschool Racial Attitude Measure II and Color Meaning Test II procedures developed by Williams and his associates, significant ( p < .01) correlations were found between the child's white-black color bias and race bias, and between white-black color bias and reports of aversive experiences with darkness. There was also a significant ( p < .05) correlation between the racial attitudes of mothers and their children. Findings with a behavioral measure of dark avoidance and measures of the mother's anxiety and authoritarianism were inconclusive. Results were discussed in terms of their implications for the development of race and color bias in preschool children.

60 preschool children were administered the Borke Empathy Scale. Their mothers completed a modified version of the Rollins Child-rearing Scale. The mothers' child-rearing scores plus children's age and sex were used in a multiple regression analysis to predict the children's empathy scores. Intelligence, female gender, high support, use of reasoning, and low-rule-orientation in the home predicted higher empathy scores among preschool children. The finding that low use of rules or inconsistency was associated with high levels of empathy appears significant for understanding the relationship between child-rearing and the development of empathy. Because the Rollins Child-rearing Scale is new and psychometric analysis is limited, replication is required.

Positive Effect

Relevance. The increase of children interest in entertainment TV programs, mobile applications and video games available on the internet causes a significant decrease in their physical activity: children get used to a sedentary or lying down lifestyle. The research problem lies in the contradiction that arises due to understanding of the positive effect of physical activity on the development of the regulatory functions of a preschooler, and a significant decrease in this activity in the digital conditions of the modern educational environment. The relevance and prospects of the study of the relationship between regulatory functions and physical activity of preschool children in new digital environment are not yet fully realized. The objective of the paper is to review the studies by foreign scientists in order to identify and describe relevant indicators of physical activity in preschool children interrelated with the main components of regulatory functions (inhibitory control, working memory, cognitive flexibility). Method. A theoretical review of research papers published over the past ten years (2010–2020) on the subject of relationship of various physical activity indicators and regulatory functions in preschool children. Results. The paper provides a comparative analysis of studies conducted by foreign authors. It allows to reveal basic indicators of physical activity in children which are essential for the development of regulatory functions (sufficiency of physical activity; age-related appropriateness; the nature of physical activity; the form of physical activity arrangement), and particular indicators (the relationship of physical activity and regulatory functions in various sports, duration and intensity of physical activity, the availability of software for the development of physical activity in preschool children) as well. Conclusions. The review showed that the majority of the authors emphasized the significant role of basic physical activity indicators and their influence on regulatory functions. Aerobic exercises are the most effective in the development of regulatory functions in preschool children. Particular indicators are selected from the studies of the development of regulatory functions in specific sports (football, karate, yoga, mini-trampoline), and additional research on the duration and intensity of physical activity is needed.

Electroencephalogram Eeg

The present study examined the associations of physical fitness and motorcompetence with P3 and alpha desynchronization (ERD), two neuroelectric indices ofbrain development underlying controlled attention, in 4-6 year-old preschool children. Allparticipants completed physical fitness and motor competence test batteries and anauditory oddball task while electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded. Resultsrevealed that increased muscular power, muscular endurance, physical fitness, andmotor competence were associated better attentional task performance. Analysis onneuroelectric indices showed that muscular endurance was related to increased P3amplitude, while the increases in physical fitness and motor competence wereassociated with greater upper alpha (10-12 Hz) ERD following the stimulus evaluationand response selection. Further, the negative associations of physical fitness and motorcompetence with task response time were mediated by the upper alpha ERD. Thesefindings highlight the importance of early childhood motor competence and physicalfitness, especially muscular endurance, to neurocognitive function.

The article presents the data of the study of working memory and features of oral monologue speech in preschool children. 269 children (133 boys and 136 girls) aged 5-6 years (M=5.6 years; Sd=0.48) attending the senior group of kindergarten in Moscow were examined. Features of oral monologue speech development were studied using methods developed in the Russian neuropsychology: tasks for retelling the text and compiling the story of a series of pictures. General neuropsychological parameters, separate lexical and grammatical (morphology and syntax) indicators, macrostructure of the narrative were analyzed in the evaluation of children's responses. As a result of the correlation and cluster analysis, similar links were obtained: the level of working memory development in preschoolers is correlated with such indicators of the child's speech development as semantic completeness of the text, its adequacy, programming of speech message, the number of words and sentences in the text, the development of macrostructure and the type of narrative. Based on the results, it is concluded that the most general and global indicators of the macrostructure of the text are significantly associated with the development of working memory. At the same time, the development of verbal working memory is more associated with the development of speech in preschool children compared to visual working memory. The authors come to the conclusion that with a well-developed auditory working memory, the child's speech will be more correct lexically and grammatically.
