This article is devoted to the study of memory features for children of primary school age with perinatal central nervous system lesions in history, in particular, hypoxia. These results were compared with those obtained in a study of healthy peers. The study involved 32 children aged 6 to 8, of which 16 children had a o perinatal hypoxia in history and 16 without CNS perinatal pathology. Based on these results, it was found that children who have suffered hypoxia have a lower playback volume and productivity modal-specific forms of memory, which are subject to greater influence of interfering effects than that of healthy children.

Objective: to analyze the neurodynamic indicators of the sensorimotor response of primary school age children with orthophoria and heterotropia. Material and methods. 51 children (102 eyes) aged 6-11 were examined. 2 groups that could be compared in terms of age and sex were formed. The first group consisted of 20 patients (40 eyes) with orthophoria associated with moderate hypertropia of Hm 3.5 (2.3; 5.3) diopters, the second group included children with concomitant convergent strabismus associated with moderate hypertropia of Hm 4.25 (2.0; 6.5) diopters - 31 patients (62 eyes). To study the properties of the nervous system (NS), the computer appliance «NS-Psychotest» (LLC «Neurosoft», Ivanovo, http://neurosoft. com/ru) was used. The neurodynamic indicators of the sensorimotor response were identified with the techniques «Simple Visual Motor Response» (SVMR), «Discrimination reaction» (DR), «Moving Object Response» (MOR), «Critical Flicker-Fusion Frequency» (CFF). Results. Concomitant strabismus in the children of the second group reliably leads to an increase in the time of SVMR, DR by 65.5 ms and 42.4 ms, respectively (p < 0.05), in comparison with the group of the children with orthophoria. The difference between the indices of DR and SVMR in the children of group 1 - 51.5 ms, of group 2 - 28.4 ms, verifies a decrease of the rate of the neurodynamic processes of the NS in the children with heretotropia. In the study with the MOR technique, the time of response in the first group was - -31 (-127; 50) ms, in the second group - 22 (-29; 94) ms (р = 0.000008), a positive value of the indicator of the response time in the children of the second group is a consequence of the prevalence of inhibition processes in the central nervous system in most the examined patients. Conclusion . The obtained results show that the presence of heterotropia in the children of the second group reliably leads to decreased mobility of nervous processes and predominance of inhibition processes in the central nervous system. The combination of the low velocity of the response and expressed inertness of nervous processes in the children of the second group are indicative of a lack of coordination of the interrelations between the centers of the visual and motor analyzers.

The Central Nervous System

Disorders of the musculoskeletal system in school-age children occupy 1-2 places in the structure of functional abnormalities. Cognitive impairment without organic damage to the central nervous system is detected in 30-56% of healthy school children. Along with the increase in the incidence rate, the demand for rehabilitation systems, which allow patients to return to normal life as soon as possible and maintain the motivation for the rehabilitation process, is also growing. Adaptation of rehabilitation techniques, ease of equipment management, availability of specially trained personnel and availability of technical support for complexes becomes important.

The article is devoted to the actual problem of clinical psychology studies of cognitive dysontogenesis in schizophrenic conditions. Evaluation results of particularity of association activity and selectivity of thinking in normal and schizophrenic primary school age children are given. Two samples were examined: 60 schizophrenic children and 60 mentally healthy children at the age from 7 to 11 years old. Experimental psychological author’s complex of techniques for evaluation of verbal associations in response to stimuli of different modalities (olfactory, audio-verbal, visual, tactile) along with evaluation of thinking selectivity and cognitive development level were used. Present research results are discussed in relations with particularity of cognitive deficiency and manifestation of cognitive dysontogenesis in schizophrenic primary school age children. Connections between thinking selectivity disorder and particularities of association activity in different modalities of schizophrenic young schoolchildren are demonstrated. The key research result is following: thinking selectivity disorder in schizophrenia condition is also manifested in the association process of schizophrenic children and doesn’t depend on modality.

The 2014/15 influenza season was the second season of roll-out of a live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) programme for healthy children in England. During this season, besides offering LAIV to all two to four year olds, several areas piloted vaccination of primary (4–11 years) and secondary (11–13 years) age children. Influenza A(H3N2) circulated, with strains genetically and antigenically distinct from the 2014/15 A(H3N2) vaccine strain, followed by a drifted B strain. We assessed the overall and indirect impact of vaccinating school age children, comparing cumulative disease incidence in targeted and non-targeted age groups in vaccine pilot to non-pilot areas. Uptake levels were 56.8% and 49.8% in primary and secondary school pilot areas respectively. In primary school age pilot areas, cumulative primary care influenza-like consultation, emergency department respiratory attendance, respiratory swab positivity, hospitalisation and excess respiratory mortality were consistently lower in targeted and non-targeted age groups, though less for adults and more severe end-points, compared with non-pilot areas. There was no significant reduction for excess all-cause mortality. Little impact was seen in secondary school age pilot only areas compared with non-pilot areas. Vaccination of healthy primary school age children resulted in population-level impact despite circulation of drifted A and B influenza strains.

The present study examined age differences in time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in primary school age children and tested the role of self-initiated memory retrieval and strategic time monitoring (TM) as possible developmental mechanisms. Fifty-four children were recruited from local primary schools (27 younger children, mean age = 7.2 ± 0.55 years, and 27 older children, mean age = 9.61 ± 0.71 years). The task was a driving game scenario in which children had to drive a vehicle (ongoing task) and to remember to refuel before the vehicle runs out of gas (TBPM task, i.e., the fuel gauge served as child-appropriate time equivalent). Fuel gauge was either displayed permanently (low level of self-initiation) or could only be viewed on demand by hitting a button (high level of self-initiation). The results revealed age-dependent TBPM differences with better performance in older children. In contrast, level of self-initiated memory retrieval did not affect TBPM performance. However, strategies of TM influenced TBPM, as more frequent time checking was related to better performance. Patterns of time checking frequency differed according to children’s age and course of the game, suggesting difficulties in maintaining initial strategic TM in younger children. Taken together, the study revealed ongoing development of TBPM across primary school age. Observed age differences seemed to be associated with the ability to maintain strategic monitoring.
