Justification of Empirical Examination of Peculiar Human Selectivity

Abstract

The article reveals the background to the study of the problem of actualization of specific analyzer sensitivity in the face of experiencing a psychological crisis. The empirical research on the manifestation of the features of the process of functioning of supersensitive perception is presented. A pilot study on the selected topic and the analysis of its results are described. The plan of the primary research of factors of actualization of specific perception is formulated. It is well known that there are five analyzer systems: sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste. At present, due to the successes of biology and our fuller understanding of the higher nervous activity, they have been sufficiently studied. However, there are some peculiarities of perception that do not fit into these sensations. The ability to perceive information from under-studied sources is defined as a supersensitive or specific analytic sensitivity. Usually, not all people have a supersensitive perception. However, we believe that the decisive factor in its appearance is not the identity of the carrier of the specific analyzer sensitivity, but the events after which it was actualized. It is well-known that way out of the crisis requires a person to use resources that are not used in everyday life. When experiencing a crisis, which is the impossibility of realizing life's plans, the realization of these concealed opportunities begins to be realized. At the same time, it is often the case that after the end of the stress factors, the manifestation of specific perception ceases, which only proves its narrow functional purpose. That is why our work hypothesizes that a specific perception, which is generally familiar to all people, is prone to show up as a result of the action on the human body of such crisis factors, which can be dealt with in the usual, commonly used ways. The detection of a person's manifestation of cases of supersensitive perception requires a unique level of attention to his inner world, which can be exacerbated during a crisis. The manifestation of a specific perception can have a warning, signalling or healing function.
