摘要:In the laboratory of O.K. Tikhomirov, the phenomenon of the acute emotional regulationof productive thinking was justified. This regulation is realized by means of theelaboration of the axiological profile of cognition. The following definition of intellectualemotions can be given: intellectual emotions are the appraisals of specific cognitiveobjects — contradictions, assumptions, probabilities, and the intermediate and final resultsof operations. The main aspect of the method used in the research consisted of thesynchronous registration of an external (tactile) elaboration of problems, skin galvanicresponse and verbal utterances regarding tasks to be completed in a game of chess. Theprinciple position in Tikhomirov`s group is the following: intellectual emotions representnot only the energetic resource or catalysts for the thinking process, but also thedeterminants of its structure.
