THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE PROCESSES (ATTENTION, MEMORY, THINKING) IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENCE IN STUDENTS
This article presents a scientific-theoretical analysis of the role of cognitive processes – attention, memory, and thinking - in the intellectual
development of higher education students. The study examines the interrelationships among cognitive processes, their impact on academic
activities, and their contribution to intellectual growth. Theoretical analysis methods are employed based on works of both international
and local researchers. Harmonious development of attention, memory, and thinking is a determining factor in enhancing students'
intellectual potential.
