Abstract

It is not an organism but consciousness, that studies, remembers and
learns to use the resources of the organism for solving the problems. Consciousness tries to guess the information that is kept in the organism’s memory or the actions that an organism is able for and that are essential for the achievement of the required effect. It verifies its hypotheses in the experience, but simultaneously tries to protect them from the disproof.
Such conception has been illustrated by many experiments, in which
three tendencies of subjects are proved: not to realize the thing that has once already been not realized; to repeat one’s own mistakes, first of all, in the cases of increasing successfulness of the acts; to raise the effectiveness of memorizing and learning by complicating irrelevant components of task.
