The article presents information about the reports of corresponding member B.F. Lomov of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Georgian SSR A.S. Prangishvili on the topic «On the development of actual problems of psychology» at the meeting of the Section of Social Sciences of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR on December 6, 1979. In the report of B.F. Lomov, it was pointed out that special attention should be paid to the problem of motivation and needs, mechanisms of formation and development of the motivational sphere of the individual. The scientist noted that the further development of psychology required a more in-depth development of philosophical, methodological and general theoretical problems (such as problems of personality, individual consciousness, needs, abilities, activities, communication), research of mental processes and states and their substrate – nervous processes. A.S. Prangishvili believed that the analysis of social trends and phenomena cannot be considered complete if the nature of specific features of personal character, the formation of which reflects certain relations of the process of solving the problems of communist construction, is not considered. He reported on the developed method of fixed installation, which, representing a disposition to a certain form of responsethe psychological organization of the internal environment of the individual, acted as a characteristic of the integral state of the subject of mental activity at each discrete moment of its activity that in the speeches of scientists, a significant place is occupied by ideological statements, references to the speeches of the ideologists of the Communist Party, concerning the issues of solving the problems of educating a new person, developing typical socialist personality qualities, etc. No public speech was complete without such statements during the period under review. At the same time, the coverage of actual problems of psychology is of considerable interest for the study of the history of psychology in the USSR, in particular, its academic direction.
