Development of Cyclic Representations of Senior Preschoolers

This article is dedicated to the opportunities of development of cyclic representations of preschool children. Cyclic representations are mental structures allowing the reflection of development processes in the world around. An educational experiment is described where the children were suggested to solve some problems that required the application of dialectical mental actions. The evidence obtained as a result of this experiment lead to a conclusion that cyclic representations may be amplified through specifically designed educational program.
