Highlights

Features of the formation of thinking in preschool age are, in our opinion, in the following:

1) the acquisition by the child of preschool age of the experience of direct actions with objects influences the formation of thinking, reduces to the knowledge of the surrounding world and creates the possibility of transition from elementary forms of thinking to the most complex forms of intellectual activity that is revealed when solving practical problems by the child;

2) the effectiveness of solving cognitive tasks in preschool age essentially depends on the nature of the child’s orienting actions and on the form and content of the orienting-research activity that the child has developed in his or her own experience;

3) the formation of thinking in preschool age is determined by the readiness and ability of the child to use universal mental actions (analysis, synthesis, comparison, synthesis, abstraction, classification).
