The study of higher mental functions, scientists addressed at the initial stages of the development of science. But for the first time this concept is used in scientific terminology, the prominent Soviet psychiatrist Lev Vygotsky in the course of scientific controversy with Frenchman Jean piaget on the question of the priority spheres of human development.

The Concept of higher mental functions reflect the complex mental phenomena and processes, which are determined by psycho-physical and social factors, and manifest themselves only as social. It is this asymmetry manifestations of these phenomena due to their possible arbitrary leakage. Alleged to L. Vygotsky, the mental processes of man are the 2 main source of its Genesis. Some of them are determined by genetic factors, which are formed and manifest themselves for generations. The Genesis of the other is solely under the influence of social factors. Moreover, the formation of the social functions is by “layers” at the genetic, and therefore the entire complex, which represent the higher mental functions, is the result of a long process of socio-historical development.

One of the most important mental function is human speech. This feature provides not just communication between people, and gives to the whole society as a system, its main feature – social. On the other hand, that sociality mediates the implementation of these functions in operation. The most important mental functions include perception, memory  thinking. 

The deployment Process functions – a rather complex phenomenon involving a series of sequential stages. They are relatively Autonomous, and each is a separate mental and active process.

The first stage is interpsychological, i.e. a simple interaction between people. Then intrapsychological – a phenomenon characterizing a person's awareness of their activities directed to the external environment. And then there's the infancy – external factors that mediate human activity and is converted to the internal. Internalization transforms certain human activities in a set of automatic motor actions, skills that in most cases, are committed unknowingly, being, nevertheless, it is a meaningful social practice. An example of such a process may be, for example, the process of learning anything, when a person, having a  certain knowledge, in the frequent repetition of them in practice gradually converts them into skills.

A Critical issue is how higher mental functions are manifested in people's daily life. Daily psychic self-regulation has as its objective not only the social correction of human behavior, but she acts as a mental function, what is actually causing the difference between man and other species. Considering it in this context, it should be understood that self-regulation operates at the level of the psyche, providing a harmonious adaptation of the organism of man to the dynamic changes in the external natural and social environment. It is a process of correction of psychoemotional state, which is exercised by the impact of man on himself in various ways. These may be words (speech), appeal to any images, memory, managing the physical condition of the body. Quite widely used and familiar to all methods, such as sleep, laughter, memories of pleasant, nature watching, relaxation, stretching and more.

Professionals who are exploring higher mental functions and the nature of their implementation, the claim that the active participation of the person in the regulation of emotional States provides the greatest effect on the socialization process, harmonious adapt it to the changing conditions of the social environment.

The Role of these functions cannot be overemphasized in human life. They bring us knowledge and skills, provide normal power-up in complex processes of social interaction that pervades modern society.
