Ukrainian state as a political institution, did not exist, and<br> therefore there was no single community center, which would be a source of<br> development of psychology in Ukraine.</p> <p>Ukrainian Psychological research was based on ideas of well known scientists and their experiments, they have implemented their theories and methods with the help of their friends and associates. That is how creative groups were developed. They have helped and   supported each other research developments. The most famous were groups from Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa. Their main research topics included problems of involuntary and voluntary memory, basics of productive memorization, experimental study of a thinking process and a study of perception of time.</p> <p>The development of psychological theories took place exclusively in the research centers as a collective work of a group of scientists headed by its leaders. In Kharkov, in the early leaders were L.S.Vygotsky and A.N.Leontiev, that actually created the Kharkov group of scientists, and in the mid-twentieth century scientific leader spoke P.I.Zinchenko. In Odessa scientific doctrine were based on the ideas of M.М.Lange, which extended in the nineteenth century, but remain valuable and up to date. The ideas of M.M.Lange were picked up by</p> <p>S.L.Rubinstein and D.G.Elkin which are developing and used in modern psychological research. </p>}, number={2}, journal={PSYCHOLOGICAL JOURNAL}, author={Muzychuk, Elena}, year={2015}, month={May}, pages={77–83} }
