This article examines the role of subjective well-being, cognitive and metacognitive skills as key elements of the professional effectiveness and well-being in the middle-aged women working at the university. The study used standardized methods for assessing cognitive and metacognitive characteristics (the MoCA test, MCQ-30, and the Metacognitive Personality Questionnaire) and a life satisfaction scale. The results reveal a significant positive relationship between metacognitive skills and subjective well-being, confirming the importance of the metacognitive skills for adaptation and well-being. The findings support the hypothesis that metacognitive strategies are the markers of well-being, and emphasize the need to develop metacognitive functions in the adulthood to prevent cognitive deficits.

Modern professional training of medical personnel for domestic healthcare requires studying and evaluating the subjective and cognitive state of future doctors, the specifics of the medical profession and activities. The multifaceted practical, scientific, research, creative, socionomic, patient-oriented medical profession is aimed at forming, together with professional competencies, the subjective and cognitive qualities of a doctor, ensuring the preservation of mental health, strengthening cognitive potential and preventing the tendency to deviant behavior of a working specialist in the new conditions of medical activity. In 2024-2025, psychodiagnostic studies were conducted at Tver State Medical University among undergraduates using the Multipsychometer hardware and software psychodiagnostic complex. The purpose of the study was to study the subject-cognitive states of future doctors studying at a medical university in the Tver region. Based on the analysis of the research results, the dynamics of the indicators of the students' subjective and cognitive state, such as the meaningfulness of life, reflexivity and a tendency to deviant behavior, were revealed. The results of the study indicate that low indicators of meaningfulness of life, reflexivity and risks of tendency to deviant behavior can be considered as markers of deprivation of cognitive and subjective health of students, which also negatively affects the professional development of a doctor.

The article presents the results of a study of the influence of metacognitive characteristics on the adaptation of resident physicians through the analysis of their relationship with indicators of personal adaptive potential. A low overall level of adaptive potential among residents was revealed, indicating internal confusion among resident physicians at the beginning of their career.The study demonstrated that metacognitive characteristics play a significant role in the adaptation processes to professional activities among resident physicians. Key factors influencing adaptation were identified, including metacognitive regulation of activity, communication skills, self-regulation abilities, and cognitive regulation of emotions in stressful situations.It was revealed that the nature of the influence of metacognitive characteristics on indicators of personal adaptive potential varies not only in the strength of individual factors but also in their direction. Among these factors, the “ability to metacognitive regulation of activity” emerged as the most critical.The research also identified the factors determining the role of metacognitive characteristics in the adaptation process to the professional activities of resident physicians.

Actualization of human potential, its continuous self-development and improvement in the rapidly changing social, economic, technological, political space set new benchmarks for the state youth policy, associated, on the one hand, with the identification of personal resources, on the other hand, with improving their quality, which directs close attention to the development of appropriate conditions primarily in the educational space, which determines and directs the situation In this regard, the focus of the educational space on the actualization of the scientific potential of students, the development of their skills and skills of research activity, which requires a special organization of thought activity of students, focused on innovation and creativity. This fact has determined the problem of current research, which is to study the nature of the influence of innovation-oriented mental activity on the development of an individual’s scientific potential. The purpose of research is to study the specifics of the influence of innovation-oriented mental activity on the development of an individual’s scientific potential. The research objective is to study the specifics of the influence of innovation-oriented thinking activity on the development of scientific potential of personalityт. The study used the method of ascertaining experiment, during which the distinctive characteristics in the manifestation of the scientific potential of students’ personalities depending on the level of education were studied and comprehended, the resources for updating this phenomenon were identified, and the influence of the parameters of innovation-oriented mental activity of students on their scientific potential was shown. The sample consisted of 233 respondents, including 110 high school students and 123 university students, of whom 59% were female and 41% were male, the average age of the respondents was 17.4 years. The obtained empirical results were processed in the program "IBM SPSS Statistics 23" using nonparametric criteria of Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney, Spearman, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and multiple regression analysis. Results: 1) students with more pronounced scientific potential of personality are characterized by a tendency to theoretical thinking, creative approach to solving problem-solving tasks, development of innovation-oriented ideas, in contrast to students with unexpressed or poorly developed scientific potential of personality; 2) parameters of scientific potential of personality are manifested unevenly at different levels of education: the resources of development in high school students are indicators of motivational component of scientific potential of personality, in university students strengthened the scientific potential of personality; 3) parameters of scientific potential of personality are manifested unevenly at different levels of education. Conclusion: innovation-oriented thinking activity is a psychological condition for the development of scientific potential of the personality.

This paper considers the possibility of using artificial intelligence for differential diagnosis of normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson's disease and dementia. The study analyzed 77 protocols of ACE-III neuropsychological examination and applied modern methods of statistical analysis, machine learning and data processing. The results showed that the machine learning model has an average level of accuracy but needs to be improved to increase its effectiveness in diagnosing some groups of patients. The research emphasizes the prospects of developing machine learning models for differential diagnostics based on ACE-III, however, it points out the need for additional features for more accurate diagnosis of certain diseases.

Frontal dysfunctions are frequent pathologies in the neurodegenerative diseases development such as Alzheimer's disease, mental debility, encephalopathy and cerebrovascular diseases. For this reason, it is necessary to develop methods of rehabilitation for such patients. This paper proposes the method of an appeal to the social situation of rehabilitation as a field to implement means of compensation for violations of executive function and programming and control of arbitrary activity. In this paper we demonstrate the dynamics of rehabilitation of the patient with such violations, give examples of possible means provided by a specialist (e.g. schemes of an indicative basis of action for performing household and professional tasks), and describe the possibility of relatives engagement into the rehabilitation process in order to control the use of these means and to internalize them by the patient themselves in the future, using the method of content-analysis.

This study examined the influence of various factors on the suppression of the mu rhythm, associated with the mirror neuron system (MNS), during movement observation and imitation in 40 healthy women. The primary factors influencing mu rhythm suppression were found to be parental experience, empathy levels, and situational anxiety. It was revealed that maternal and paternal experience is significantly linked to the activation of structures containing mirror neurons. Additionally, the connection between empathy and MNS activity was confirmed, highlighting the critical role of mirror neurons in processes of empathy. The study showed that situational emotional states, such as anxiety, affect MNS activity, while the demonstrator's gender and age do not have a significant effect. The methodology, including Independent Component Analysis (ICA), minimized alpha rhythm interference and provided precise data on MNS functioning in social contexts.
