title: [The use of learning computers in the general educational system: hygienic aspects].
abstract: The use of learning computers (LCs) in a present-day academic process poses for hygienists and physiologists new problems, such as to evaluate the influence of LCs on schoolchildren's health and to substantiate and to develop the ways of drawing up and presenting the materials in terms of their readability and regulation of learning regimens. Analysis of the currently available LCs has established the factors contributing to the accelerated development of visual and overall fatigue, its accumulation: the brightness characteristics of electronic pages, including both the violation of the allowable brightness levels and the irregularity of intensity distribution; a significant inadequacy of type sizes; a great variety of lettering and coloring. The recent LCs for general education are the visual aggressive medium for schoolchildren, which is certain to require their hygienic evaluation on the basis of specially developed hygienic requirements for LCs.
