Description

This useful model relates to clinical psychology, neuropsychology and pedagogy and can be used in corrective and developmental classes with children with impaired formation of visual-spatial memory in various types of mental dysontogenesis, as well as for training visual-spatial memory in healthy children.

In case of violations of the formation of visual-spatial memory in children, correctional and developmental classes are carried out, during which various printed simulators and devices are used.

So, the "Practical trainer for the development of speech, attention, memory, thinking, perception" is known on one of the pages of which in the upper part there are colored images of various objects, and in the lower part - similar images, but not containing colors. A child who is studying should try to remember the colors of images of objects, then cover them with a sheet of paper, and paint from memory with colored pencils or felt-tip pens the images at the bottom of the page of the simulator (Teremkova N.E. Practical trainer for the development of speech, attention, memory, thinking, perception, Issue 2, OOO "Strekoza", Moscow, 2016, p. 3).

The disadvantages of this printed simulator when used for group correctional and developmental classes and training of visual-spatial memory are:

a) this simulator is not intended for use in group exercises;

b) the possibility of only one-time use of the printed materials of the simulator;

c) a small amount of working material, which is insufficient for conducting long courses of study;

d) the difficulty of coloring small details of images for children with fine motor skills.

Also, from the existing level of technology known device "Trainer-flower for group correctional and developmental exercises and training of visual-spatial memory" (Patent RU 193618 U1 from 11.07.2019).

Structurally, this device is a flower-shaped plastic base fixed on the handle, on both sides of which there are recessed cells.

In the course of training with this device, one child paints the indentation cells on the front side of the base with colored water markers, after which the other child memorizes the colors of the painted indentation cells and from memory paints the indentation cells on the reverse side of the base with similar colors.

Also from the existing level of technology known device "Trainer-pyramid for group correctional and developmental exercises and training of visual-spatial memory" (Patent RU 195555 U1 from 31.01.2020).

Structurally, this device is a plastic base fixed to the handle in the form of an image of a children's pyramid, in each of the elements of which there are recessed cells.

In the course of training with this device, one child paints the indentation cells on the front side of the base with colored water markers, after which the other child memorizes the colors of the painted indentation cells and from memory paints the indentation cells on the reverse side of the base with similar colors.

The disadvantages of the devices considered above when used for group correctional and developmental exercises and training of visual-spatial memory are:

a) the need to constantly transfer device data during classes from one practitioner to another;

b) the need to hold each of these devices by the handle during exercise;

c) long-term work with each of these devices leads to the emergence of addiction in children and a decrease in interest in classes, which contributes to a decrease in the effectiveness of correctional and developmental classes and training of visual-spatial memory.

In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above printed simulators and devices, as well as to expand the arsenal of devices intended for group correctional and developmental exercises and training of visual-spatial memory of children, a "bunch simulator for group correction and developmental classes and training of visual-spatial memory" has been developed (hereinafter according to the text "Trainer-bunch").

The tasks to be solved by the claimed technical solution are:

a) ensuring the possibility of conducting group correctional and developmental classes with children who have impairments in the formation of visual-spatial memory;

b) ensuring the possibility of training visual-spatial memory in healthy children;

c) strengthening and maintaining the interest of children in the activities conducted through the use of a new device;

d) ensuring the comfort of training with the use of the "Bunch simulator" due to the absence of the need to hold it in the child's hand, as well as the convenience of lifting from the surface of the desktop;

e) ensuring the possibility of using the "Bunch Trainer" an unlimited number of times due to the fact that it is made of plastic, and graphic actions are performed on its surfaces by means of easily erasable water markers;

f) ensuring the possibility of conducting long-term courses of study due to the fact that the formation of tasks is carried out directly by the children themselves by coloring the elements of the image of the bunch;

g) ensuring the possibility of conducting classes for children with fine motor skills due to the fact that the elements of the image of the bunch are made in the form of indentations that do not allow the rod of the water marker to go beyond their limits;

h) the simplicity of the design of the "Bunch Trainer", contributing to its widespread implementation in clinical and pedagogical practice.

The technical result of the claimed useful model is the expansion of the arsenal of devices intended for group correctional and developmental classes and training of visual-spatial memory, which helps to maintain children's interest in the process of classes and is provided by the structural elements of the declared "Bunch Trainer" developmental activities with children with visual-spatial memory formation disorders, including children with fine motor skills, as well as visual-spatial memory training in healthy children.

This technical result is provided due to the fact that the "Trainer-bunch" contains a flat plastic base having the contours of a bunch, on the front and back sides of which there are protrusions of the same height, forming on each side of the base an image of a bunch, consisting of elements made with the possibility coloring with water markers of different colors; the number and location of the elements are the same on both sides of the base, and an eyelet with a through hole is made on the end surface of the base.

In a preferred embodiment of the Cluster Trainer, the surface of the elements is coated in white.

The essence of the utility model "Trainer-bunch for group correctional and developmental exercises and training of visual-spatial memory" is illustrated by the drawing, which shows:

FIG. 1 - "Trainer-bunch" from the front side

The declared "Trainer-bunch" (see Fig. 1) is a flat plastic base (1), having the contours of a bunch of plants, on the front and back sides of which there are protrusions (3), forming on each side of the base (1) the image of a bunch plants, consisting of elements (2), intended for coloring by means of easily erasable water markers of different colors in the course of the lessons.

The term "bunch" means "a part of a plant, which is a branch on which there is an accumulation of flowers, berries or other small fruits" (Explanatory Dictionary of Russian Nouns. Bunch, found 05.012021 on the Internet at https: //noun_ru.academic .ru / 2178).

Thus, the shape of the base (1) and the elements (2) constituting the image of the bunch can be: a) the image of a bunch of berries or small fruits, for example, a bunch of grapes; b) an image of a bunch of flowers, for example, a bunch of bird cherry; c) a stylized image of a bunch that does not correspond to any existing plant.

In this case, the elements (2) of the image of the bunch can have a round, oval or any other shape.

The dimensions indicated below for this particular "Bunch Trainer" are not indications that narrow the scope of legal protection, since they may change in the process of its creation.

The diameter of the circle circumscribed around the base (1) of the "Cluster Trainer" is 50-150 mm, and the thickness of the base (1) is 2-4 mm.

The protrusions (3) are made along the outer edge of the front and back sides of the base (1) and directly on the surface of each side of the base (1), edging each element (2) of the image of the bunch.

The width of the projections (3) is 2-5 mm.

Thus, the projections (3) provide the implementation of the following functions:

a) serve as boundaries for the rod of the water marker, providing the convenience of coloring the elements (2) of the image of the bunch with water markers of different colors;

b) increase the thickness of the base (1) of the "Bunch Trainer", ensuring the convenience of lifting it from a horizontal surface;

c) give additional rigidity to the base (1) of the "Bunch Trainer".

The image of a bunch located on each side of the base (1) can include from 5 to 50 or more elements (2).

In this case, the number and location of the elements (2) that make up the image of the bunch are the same on both sides of the base (1).

The height of the projections (3) is the same and amounts to 1–2 mm.

Thus, the design features of the elements (2), edged with protrusions (3), provide the convenience of coloring them with water markers, making the exercise process accessible to children with fine motor skills. At the same time, the small height of the projections (3) does not prevent the removal of traces of water markers by means of a sponge designed to erase them.

To ensure the convenience of lifting the "Trainer-bunch" from the surface of the desktop, on the end surface of the base (1), in its upper part there is an eyelet (4) with a through hole, into which a metal ring can be installed.

"An eyelet is a device on the side of various objects for more convenient lifting, holding, hanging, etc." (Explanatory dictionary of the Russian language by Efremova. The meaning of the word ear, found on 01/05/2021 on the Internet at https://www.efremova.info/word/ushko.html#.XkdSQxtn3IU).

The width of the eyelet (4) is 8-14 mm, and its thickness is equal to the thickness of the base (1) of the "Bunch Trainer".

The diameter of the through hole of the eyelet (4) is 4-10 mm.

For the convenience of lifting and holding the "Bunch Trainer" when it is turned over during exercise, notches with a depth of 0.25-1 mm can be made on the end surface of the base (1), preventing it from slipping out of the child's hands.

For the convenience of exercising with the use of the "Bunch Trainer", a mark (5) is applied to the front side of the base (1) (for example, by means of paint), which can be made, for example, in the form of a circle.

For a better perception by children of the colors of water markers with which the elements (2) of the image of the bunch are painted, a white background coating is applied on the surface of the elements (2) (for example, by means of paint).

The work with the useful model "Trainer-bunch for group correctional and developmental classes and training of visual-spatial memory" is carried out as follows.

Before starting the lesson, the specialist forms a group of two children who have approximately the same problems with visual-spatial memory.

In this case, the specialist assigns one child to form the task, and the other child to perform the task.

Further, the child forming the task, holding the "Bunch simulator" located on the table by the projections (3), using easily erasable multi-colored water markers, paints in different colors part of the elements (2) of the image of the bunch on the front side of the base (1).

At the same time, the number of painted elements (2) and used markers of different colors is determined by a specialist and increases as the child achieves positive results.

After that, the child performing the task, during the time interval specified by the specialist (from 20 seconds or more), remembers the colors and location of the painted elements (2) on the front side of the base (1).

Further, the child performing the task turns the "Bunch simulator" with the face of the base (1) down, and then tries to reproduce the colors of the painted elements (2) from memory, coloring with markers of similar colors, the corresponding elements (2) of the image of the bunch on the back of the base ( one).

In case of difficulty, the child performing the task can turn over the "Bunch simulator" for a short time, thus receiving a hint.

Checking the correctness of the task is carried out by comparing the colors and location of the colored elements (2) of the image of the bunch on the front and back sides of the base (1).

Further, all traces of water markers are removed with a sponge designed to erase them, the child forming the task and the child performing the task change roles and the entire sequence of actions is repeated a number of times specified by the specialist.

Along with the above method, group exercises can be carried out by another method based on the simultaneous use of two "Trainers-bunches".

In this case, each child paints with markers of different colors part of the elements (2) of the image of the bunch on the front side of the base (1) of the used "Bunch Trainer", after which both children show them to each other and during the time interval specified by the specialist (from 20 to more than seconds) remember the color and location of the colored elements (2).

Further, each child tries to reproduce from memory the colors of the colored elements (2), coloring the corresponding elements (2) of the image of the bunch on the back of the base (1) of the used "Bunch Trainer" in similar colors.

Checking the correctness of the task is carried out by alternately comparing the colors of the painted elements (2) of the image of the bunch on the front side of the base (1) of the “Bunch Trainer” of one child and the back side of the base (1) of the “Bunch Trainer” of another child.

Along with correctional and developmental exercises, the "Bunch Trainer" is also intended for use during classes aimed at developing and training visual-spatial memory in healthy children, the main difference of which is a greater number of colorized elements (2) and a shorter time interval for memorization their location and colors.

In addition, the "Bunch Trainer" can be used as a souvenir, for example, a keychain for bags, which provides the ability to train visual-spatial memory in various conditions.

Thus, the Bunch Trainer, due to its structural elements, provides an opportunity to conduct long-term courses of group correctional and developmental classes with children with visual-spatial memory formation disorders, including children with fine motor skills, as well as training of visual-spatial memory in healthy children.

The declared "Trainer-bunch" introduces an element of novelty into the training process, turning them into an interesting and attractive neuropsychological training for children.

Due to its simplicity of design and ease of use, the "Bunch Trainer" can be widely used in clinical and pedagogical practice.
