Abstract
This article discusses the spatial representations that are required to teach a child to count, write, draw, read – all the processes that are based on establishing relations between objects and phenomena, their sequence, and hence their spatial relationships. Spatial concepts are essential for the formation of higher mental functions: praxis, gnosis, speech and writing, memory and thinking. The complex mechanisms of spatial representations start to form in early childhood. Formation of spatial representations is related to the use of different systems of orientation in space (the visible and imaginary). Neuropsychology has always been a practical science. Authors offer a theoretically sound practice games and exercises that promote the formation and development of spatial representations, which can be useful for specialists and for parents of preschoolers.
