Have been studied such medical-biologic and psychosocial factors (mother's attitude towards child and family, interpersonal attitudes of child to surrounding individuals, quality of memory, developmental level of spatial imaginations, personal structure and type of fixed set) that affect the quality of study. Total of 217 practically healthy children (healthy group I and group II) aged 7 to 12 years were involved in our research. Owing to factor analysis of carried out research it is obvious, that not separate factors, independent of each other, affect the academic progress but combination of factors, in which the leading role play the fixed set and spatial imaginations. In healthy children, comparative analysis of fixed set in correlation with spatial imaginations was carried out. Has been shown, that fixed set correlates with strategy of spatial imaginations, structure-topology, metric and coordination.
