The results of the study showed that a significant improvement in the mental performance of children was observed using a set of exercises. In particular, it was found that it contributed to the improvement of cognitive abilities, attention and memory, psychophysical indicators in general.The article describes the theoretical foundations of the concept of neurohymnastics as an effect on students. According to the authors of the study, the use of such exercises in general education institutions can contribute to improving children's academic performance, developing the ability to focus, and increasing their activity in the classroom. The researchers emphasize that the development of cognitive abilities reduces difficulties in the learning process and increases the child's self-confidence.The article also presents approaches and methodological recommendations for the practical implementation of neurohymnastics.

The proposed set of exercises is aimed at concentrating, increasing the ability to think and improving the general psychological state of students. The article proves the need to facilitate the educational process of children and strengthen their psychological health through the widespread use of neurohymnastics in the field of general education.
