ABSTRACT
The article analyzes the impact of the cognitive-behavioral characteristics of students from a non-
linguistic university on the level of success in learning a foreign language. The purpose of this article
is to identify the patterns of the cognitive-behavioral parameters of decision-making in the
conditions of choosing between various alternative reactions and their relationship with the
effectiveness of foreign language training of students from a non-linguistic university. To study
behavior patterns, the method of parameterizing was used such as an important component of any
activity, as decision-making by modeling situations under conditions of free, probabilistic and
conditional choice. The study involved freshmen and sophomores from a medical university, who
were studying foreign languages. The simulation of the follow-up of the stimulus presented revealed
a low level of voluntary attention in the students with low performance, especially in a situation of
imposed rhythm. Naturally, there is the hypothesis that in this group, their own cognitive style is
dependent on environmental conditions, so this must be taken into account in the learning process.
The results obtained indicate that the presence of universal differentiated cognitive-behavioral
strategies are important in the case of successful / unsuccessful command of a foreign language.
KEY WORDS: behavior; cognitive activity; attitude; decision making; forecasting; voluntary
attention.
