The role of communication in human mental development
Communication plays an important role in the normal formation and further development of the human psyche, as well as the formation of cultural and conscious behavior.A person acquires all of his highest qualities and abilities to cognition, precisely through communication with psychologically developed people.
A person becomes a person only through communication with psychological developed individuals.
If you deprive him of this possibility from birth, he will never become a developed culturally and morally, a citizen, and will be doomed to remain half savage until the end of his days, only reminding a person of his outer shell.
We all know similar examples, lit by the media, when alcoholic parents did not care about their child and he was forced to live on the street in a dog kennel. Having adopted their habits from animals, having spent part of their childhood being among dogs, such a child can no longer become a normal person, having received a serious psychological trauma in childhood.
No one will be able to pass on their experience to a child like his caring parents in childhood. The only exceptions are the situations that people have described as: "Apple from an apple tree ..." or "With whom you lead ...". There is no doubt that in the human psychic development these cases are evidence of the importance of the role of communication.
Communication of any kind of child with adults in the early stages of development is particularly important for psychological development. It is during this period of time that a person acquires all of his behavioral, human, and mental personality traits. Especially if one takes into account that right up to the onset of adolescence, he is deprived of the ability to self-education and self-education, the importance of the role of communication in the mental development of a person and the development of his personality becomes completely clear.
With communication begins mental development of the child. This is the first type of social activity arising in the individual development of a person, thanks to which the baby receives the information necessary for his individual development. In this regard, it is possible to distinguish the role of the participation of both parents in communicating with the child. The failure to receive the attention of one of them in childhood affects, in a more mature age, the formation and development of the personality.
Subject activity, as a necessary component of the normal development of a child, containing in itself its cognitive need, also acts as a condition and means of mental development and appears somewhat later, at the age of 2–3 years.
The basic life experience of the child is acquired, first, through imitation, and later, through verbal instructions. No other way this experience can be acquired, and communication with people who are carriers of this experience for a child plays an important role in the mental development of a person. At the same time, the important conditions determining the development of children are:
A. Variety of communication content
B. Variety of goals and means of communication
The above types of communication affect the development of various aspects of human psychology and its behavioral factors. Thus, business communication is a means of gaining experience - knowledge and skills; it forms and develops the abilities of a person. In it, the person develops and improves in his business and organizational skills necessary for the ability to interact with other people in the process of any activity.
Personal communication allows a person to define goals in life by choosing the means of their realization, to acquire certain character traits, inclinations, habits, interests, to assimilate the moral norms adopted in human society, that is, it forms a person as an individual.
Material communication, along with other species that are part of a variety of types of communication, performs its function in the development of the individual. It allows you to get the knowledge, abilities and ideas necessary for a normal human life from the field of material and spiritual culture.
Cognitive communication (the processing of information by the brain) is also important for the mental and intellectual development of a person, since mutual communication between people makes it possible to exchange information and, accordingly, to mutually enrich the knowledge transmitted.
Conditional communication determines the child's readiness for learning, as the process of perception of information, and forms the attitudes that are necessary for the future personality to improve other types of communication, thus affecting the individual personal and intellectual development of a person.
Motivational communication, in turn, is a source of additional energy that stimulates it to productive activity, which ultimately affects the development of the individual. After all, as you know, “only the one who does nothing is not mistaken,” and the one who does nothing cannot call himself a person. As a result of motivational
