Novikov E.M., Sobolev E.M., Parkhomenko A.A.

Аннотация:
The article presents the results of a research work aimed at the identification and study of the most significant events imprinted in the memory of patients who abuse psychoactive substances. Two groups of subjects were examined – with alcohol addiction (76 people) and with heroin addiction / substance abuse (35/2 people). Positive and negative memories of three age periods were recorded: 3–7, 8–13, 14–18 years. It was noted that the most vivid pictures capturing both positive and negative episodes are formed at the age of 3–7 years, as patients grow older, negative images lose their color and vividness and unconsciously begin to be perceived as a norm of behavior.
