Type of Higher Nervous Activity

The type of higher nervous activity is a combination of individual characteristics of strength, balance and mobility of basic nervous processes.

The great Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, in the course of his research into higher nervous activity, identified 4 main types of higher nervous activity in humans and animals:

1. Strong, balanced and agile type. It is characterized by strong excitation and inhibition, their balance and easy switchability from one to another.

2. Strong, balanced, inert. It is distinguished by strong excitation and inhibition, their balance, but slow switchability of processes.

3. Weak type. It is characterized by a weak course of both excitation and inhibition.

4. Unbalanced, with a predominance of excitation or inhibition. It is distinguished by the predominance of one of the main nervous processes.

Thus, the type of higher nervous activity reflects individual differences in the functioning of the nervous system, which largely determines behavior and personality traits. Pavlov's teaching about the types of the nervous system is still relevant and widely used in physiology, psychology and other sciences.

**Type of higher nervous activity**

The totality of individual characteristics of strength, balance and mobility of basic nervous processes - this is the type of higher nervous activity (HNA), which was proposed in the 30s of the twentieth century by Ivan Petrovich Pavlov. A person, according to the GNI classification, is divided into 4 types, each of which has a certain balance of cortical systems. This division is a psychological representation, a reflection of the laws of the body, which manifest themselves at the behavioral level. GND classifies not only humans but also other living things on the same basis, making it a very useful tool for physiological science. GNI theory is a valuable source of knowledge about our brain and its functions, and is also of great importance for understanding human behavior at different levels. This theory is actively used in scientific research and practical purposes: from the development of training and management methods to medical diagnostics and psychotherapy. As Pavel Ivanovich Pavlov said about the activities of the VND: “It turns out that in order to adapt normally to the outside world, a person first needs to get acquainted with the outside world, then interact with it, and, finally, learn to understand this world (in order to predict its behavior, anticipate the probabilistic development of events Why is man built this way?
