Factors affecting psychophysiological processes of information perception within the context of education informatization
Introduction. The authors study how information technologies influence individuals and effectiveness of their activities within the context of informatization of modern society. The purpose of the research is to identify factors determining the impact of education informatization on psychophysiological processes of information perception. Materials and Methods. The study involves theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature devoted to psychophysiological aspects of the information perception depending on its semantic load and structure. The authors have relied on information-synergetic and adaptive approaches and used the following research methods: comparative and hypothetical methods, formalization, generalization and system analysis. Results. The authors have analyzed contemporary problems of education informatization, which occur both at personal and societal levels. The role of cognitive distortions in information perception when innovative information technologies dominate is emphasized. The authors focus on the positive and negative effects of the use of educational information technologies. Information technologies are considered as the basis of a cognitive educational model contributing to enhanced stress resistance and adaptation to modern conditions. Conclusions. The analysis of previous studies presented in this review indicates a general lack of research in the use of information technologies in the learning process and their impact on students.
