title: Habituation and sensitization as phenomena modeling learning processes in two groups of children: normally developing and mentally deficient in biofeedback research.
abstract: Problems of habituation and sensitization as phenomena which help to control and to predict results of the learning speed in the 8-13 olds, depending on the level of their intellectual development, expressed by the intelligence quotient, were carried out with the use of the biofeedback method. The statistical analysis proved that there is relationship between the intelligence quotient and the level of the general organismic excitation has been observed in children with the intelligence quotient between 62 and 77, whereas the decreased one--at the intelligence quotient between 115 and 138. It seems that changes towards either the habituation or may a priori indicate the intelligence quotient value and vice versa. The correlation value has to be identified by further statistical-psychological analyses.
