Thus, according to T. Komarova, the treatment of attention as a process is due to
the fact that any activity, accompanied by the orientation and concentration on it of
human consciousness, unfolds in time, and therefore has a beginning and an end. In
this regard, distinguish:
• Preemption as a state of high readiness for inclusion in activities that occur
involuntarily (in response to a stimulus), on their own initiative of a person or as a
result of an external instruction;
• procedural attention that functions during implementation of activities [1, 9].
Expanding the content of these forms of attention, T. Komarova notes that the
precedence is characterized by a gradual increase in the intensity of concentration in
the process of preparing for the implementation of activities andboth bound: the bottom
indicates the moment when there is a primary concentration (business orientation),
whilethe upper limit is characterized by the achievement of optimal intensity of
attention allows you to start your main activity. It lasts for a very short time (about 500
milliseconds), and it is either fading or changing to procedural attention, provided that
it is included in the activity. Also, the researcher emphasizes that in the process of
procedural attention it has been decided to allocate a forward-looking attention, which
involves the targeted search and selection of the necessary information, prediction of
the results of activity , that is, it participates in the construction of a model of future
action and the choice of ways to carry out a designated activity [1, 9]
Considerations as a stable personality property in psychological science is
conditioned by the fact that personal education (needs, motives, values, ideals, desires,
goals) direct and regulate the attention of the person, filling it with a personal meaning.
In this regard, attention is given to the derivative of the properties of the personality
and at the same time the supporting property (influences the formation of other
properties), which manifests itself in the activity and relations of people as
"attentiveness" - the personality trait, which is determined by the system of value
orientations and the direction of the person (for V. Insurance).
Scientists distinguish two forms of manifestation of attentiveness - the objects
subject, which in man are combined in equivalent conditions or on the basis of the
superiority of one of the forms. Object form of attentiveness, which manifests itself in
such personality traits as observation, curiosity, business efficiency, reveals the ability
of a person to notice changes in the environment, to organize and control the
performance of subject activity. Subjective form of attentiveness has a moral content
and manifested in interpersonal relationships, in the communication of people as the
ability to understand the mental state. It involves a line of personal qualities that have
an empathic character - a sense of humor, sensitivity, understanding of mood, the desire
to come to the aid, and others like that.
