Abstract

The features of modeling of the cognitive component of social and humanitarian systems have been considered. An example of using entropy multiscale, multifractal, recurrence and network complexity measures has shown that these and other synergetic models and methods allow us to correctly describe the quantitative differences of cognitive systems. The cognitive process is proposed to be regarded as a separate implementation of an individual cognitive trajectory, which can be represented as a time series and to investigate its static and dynamic features by the methods of complexity theory. Prognostic possibilities of the complex systems theory will allow to correct the corresponding pedagogical technologies. It has been proposed to track and quantitatively describe the cognitive trajectory using specially transformed computer games which can be used to test the processual characteristics of thinking.
