ABSTRACT
The article is devoted to the research of computational activity of junior pupils taking into account their neuropsychological peculiarities. The place of computational activity in the system of higher mental functions is determined. It is shown that the necessary prerequisite for the development of higher mental functions is the aging of various brain structures. The following basic areas of the brain that are involved in the calculations are defined: occipital, parietal and frontal areas of the cerebral cortex. It has been established that various compositions of these zones are used to perform computations, which in turn influences the choice of methods of reasoning. It has been experimentally proven that in the process of computational activity, young learners apply different methods of computing to the same tasks.
