It was proven that these talents can be developed through improvements in some of the structural components of these talents, in particular creative imagination, figurative thinking and logical memory. The individual influences of these components, as well as the interrelationships that exist between them, were studied. It was established that task-oriented and simultaneous activation of the processes of creative imagination, figurative thinking and logical memory in young school children during their studies greatly contributes to the development of their literary and creative talents. Keywords: creative imagination, figurative thinking, logical memory, literary and creative talents, development factor Journal: Littera Scripta Volume: 10 Issue: 1 Year: 2017 Month: May DOI: 10.36708/LS.2017.I01.005 File-URL: https://littera-scripta.com/articles/cognitive-processes-as-a-factor-in-the-development-of-the-literary-and-creative--33de9ae6 File-Format: text/html Handle: RePEc:rsg:littra:2017-005
