Conclusions

  1. 1.

    During the assembling of a mechanical toy from its parts by children aged 6–7 years, spatial synchronization of cortical potentials is strengthened.

  2. 2.

    When the skill is formed, the focus of maximal activity in children with a stereotyped form of activity is located in the inferior parietal regions; in children with variable activity it lies in the anterior zones of the brain.

  3. 3.

    During consolidation of the skill the number of interhemispheric correlations increases, evidence of an increase in the degree of paired activity in the work of the child's brain.

  4. 4.

    Differences in the topographic distribution of interhemispheric spatial synchronization of brain electrical activity depend on the character of problem solving activity. If the task is performed in a stereotyped manner, correlations are strongest in the left motor area and right inferior parietal region; in the case of variable performance, correlation is strongest in the left motor area and right frontal region.
