Features of the intellectual development of 15-16 year old children with different PC work experience

The structure of intelligence of older adolescents with different PC work experience was studied. Different effects of experience with the computer on the formation of the separate components of intelligence are noted. It is shown that early initiation to PC work (at 8 years and older) has a stimulating effect on the development of verbal and mathematical abilities. However, the most favorable time for starting work with the computer facilitating the development of visual-spatial perception and spatial thinking is the age of 9–10 years.
