"NEUROPEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MONTESSORI ENVIRONMENT IN THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF PRESSCHOOL CHILDREN"

This article explores the scientific, pedagogical, and neurobiological foundations of the Montessori method regarding the cognitive development of preschool children. Through the lens of modern neuropedagogics, the study analyzes the impact of the “prepared environment,” practical exercises, and sensory materials on the child's cerebral cortex and executive functions. The components of the method are cross-referenced with the fundamental theories of J. Piaget, L. Vygotsky, A. Luria, and N. Chomsky, scientifically substantiating the stimulation of cognitive, sensory, and linguistic processes. In conclusion, practical recommendations are put forward for integrating the neuropedagogical principles of the Montessori system into the national preschool education network within the framework of the State Requirements of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
