Abstract

The article considers the results of testing fine motor skills and cognitive abilities in 56 students of a pedagogical university of various areas of training using the author’s computer program “Ladoshki-ff”. The principles of the formation of 15 levels of complexity of the program are described in detail. Based on 840 test protocols, statistical indicators characterizing the complexity of each level were calculated. The results for each level were divided into 5 groups in increments of 20 percentiles. The boundary values of each group were taken as reference values. Correlation analysis confirmed that the time to complete the Ladoshki-ff program levels depends on the number of synergies that need to be performed and on their complexity – the information load.
