- Abstract
- Peculiarities of memory and thinking processes in internet-addicts in connection with their ability to organize temporal perspective of life activity are considered. 43 Internet-addicts and 43 Internet independent persons were selected from primary sample of 723 students. Test and experimental computer methods were used in the empiric research. Disorders of memory and thinking functions that are responsible for semantic processing were revealed in Internet addicts. Dominating hedonistic and fatalistic directions of "the present" of Internet-addicts have been shown, thus due to disturbances of semantic processing of information conditions essential limitations in subjective representation of temporal perspective of life activity.
