PROBLEMS OF SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL SYSTEMS

Abstract

Research in psychology as a science, located at the intersection of natural, technical and humanities require interdisciplinary methodologies. The article presents the results of applying the theory of the development of artificial systems (TDAS), developed on the basis of the functional-systemic approach. The use of the concept of “system” on the basis of “origin” as a general logical basis made it possible to single out a separate class of natural-artificial systems, including higher mental functions – natural in origin and artificially influenced by their formation. To analyze the development of such functions and mechanisms of their functioning, a complex theoretical and methodological approach is created that integrates the functional-systemic approach as a general scientific interdisciplinary methodology with a metacognitive approach that reflects the specific scientific level of research in psychology. The developed categorical apparatus allows us to give a more precise definition of the concept of “system-forming function”, and also introduce the concept of “metasystem function”, since the process of creating such sociocultural entities as mental systems requires regulation and control. In general, the results of applying the functional-systemic approach to research conducted give reason to consider the scope of the proposed approach as a universal methodological tool for analyzing and finding solutions to problems in the social and psychological sciences.
