Specific dynamic stereotype in children of the first year of life

Vishnev Sergey Yurievich

Dynamic stereotype (DS) is a complex multidimensional concept introduced by I.P. Pavlov in 1932 that denotes a system of conditioned and unconditioned reflexes, which manifests itself in the behavior of the organism, as a rule, in relation to a certain conditioned stimulus. Currently, DS is considered as a developed stable subjective reaction of the body to a conditioned stimulus. The author’s definition and practical application of included in DS the concept of species dynamic stereotype (SDS) allows us to pay attention to the formation of the main components of the DS, fixed in phylogeny, and therefore more important for ontogeny. In physiological terms, SDS as a phylogenetically fixed main part of DS maintains the resistance of reflex connections to phylogenetically significant unconditioned and conditioned stimuli. SDS is based on persistent connections between innate and conditioned reflexes and in turn is the basis for the formation of various motor stereotypes. SDS is connected to a number of similar concepts such as a species stereotype in ethology, a stereotyped form of behavior in zoopsychology, but it does not replace them. SDS as a complex of species stable reflex connections fixed in phylogeny in the structure of dynamic stereotype (DS) is an important link in the formation of motor activity and behavior in children of the first year of life. In practical meaning, the definition of SDS makes it easier to represent the formation and connections of general (large) and fine motor movements of a human as a biological species. Our 20-year practical experience of observation and assistance in the formation of DS in more than 6000 children in the first year of life shows the methodological need to determine and take into account the properties of SDS in a particular child to control the dynamics and effectiveness of therapeutic and preventive measures. Based on the concept of SDS, the author has developed a number of practical techniques and recommendations for massage in pediatrics, the two patents for invention are prepared.
