Characteristics of the dynamics of indicators of the central nervous system and functions of attention of the workers of shoe production

The aim: The study of changes in the functional state of the central nervous system, the stability of the function of attention occurring in the dynamics of the working day. Material and methods: Correction tables were used, chronoreflexometry was performed. A widely used technique for studying the conditioned-motor reaction of Ivanov-Smolensky with preliminary verbal instruction was used. The attention function was studied by using proof samples. Used tables with settled text, according to Whipple's formula, actual performance was calculated. Results: The results of research have shown the development of inhibitory processes in the central nervous system, leading to an increase in errors in differentiation, and at elevated air temperatures at workplaces, changes in simple and complex visual-motor response are more pronounced and significantly exceed the maximum permissible values of physiological changes. They also revealed the development of inhibitory processes in terms of simple and complex auditory-motor response, with more pronounced changes observed in those occupational groups where higher levels of noise at workplaces are recorded. When studying attention functions among working women, it has been established that the number of errors made increases, the actual performance decreases, the time spent on completing the assignment during the summer period of observations increases, where the quality of the corrective test deteriorates and the level of performance decreases, indicating a more pronounced production fatigue. Conclusion: Working conditions and the nature of work processes in workers causes the development of the predominance of inhibitory processes in the central nervous system, the development of inhibitory processes in terms of simple and complex auditory-motor response is revealed, the indicators characterizing the attention function of working women worsen, which indicates a more pronounced production fatigue.
