Abstract
Studying flexibility of thinking in cognitive style “rigidity-flexibility cognitive control” as a mechanism for word-figurative translation information, we come to question the nature of this kind of flexibility. Works of V.M. Rusalov. Relationship between basic properties of nervous system, temperament and abilities are indicated in a “chain of inborn qualities”: “the inborn qualitie.The first level (the properties of the nervous system)” - “the inborn qualities of second-level (temperament)” - “abilities”. Following V.M. Rusalov, our scheme is follows: “mobility of the nervous system” - “temperamental plasticity” - “flexible thinking - cognitive style rigid-flexible cognitive control”. The task is to find out the relationship between flexibility, properties of temperament and properties of the nervous system. The results of correlation and factor analyzes indicate a relationship between the flexibility of thinking with balance and mobility of the nervous system.
