title: [Higher mental functions and the systems analysis of behavior under conditions of uncertainty].
abstract: Superior psychical functions (skills) are usually formed in great subjective uncertainty conditions. Because of that exact knowledge of information mechanisms of behavior activity under uncertainty conditions is very importent. Some difficulties of traditional notions (classic behavior act model developed by P. K. Anokhin, systems quantization of behavior) are discussed. The model of probabilitive training allows to describe various training uncertainty conditions, and it operates as the Anokhin model in a specific case. The system-shaping factor in this model is an adaptive result. Afferent synthesis, aim for action, acceptor of the action result and the programme of actions have the traditional senses. Besides those it is proposed to use a concept of probability decision to alter the program of action, as well as an idea of memory buffer (results of search reactions). The organizational features of the functional system of behavior under great uncertainty conditions should be taken into account while specifying the informational mechanism responsible for systems quantization of behavior. The above mechanism can be used for explain the discreteness of an action in the program alteration process when the same quantum of behavior is implemented. These ideas are profitable for systems analysis of superior psychical functions, based on the reflex formation under environmental uncertainty conditions.
