One of the important directions in studying the process of the perception is the study of the mechanisms of multisensory integration, which allow the body to more accurately identificate the objects of the surrounding world. Another important direction in the study of the role of perception is the study of the process of distribution of attention, through which the selection of significant characteristics for the organization of adaptive behavior is carried out. Of particular interest is the study of the specifics of the formation of mechanisms of multisensory integration and voluntary attention in children with neurological disorders. The priming paradigm was used as a research model, which allows determining the distribution of attention between perceived stimuli, as well as the temporal dynamics of the process of identification of a heterosensory object. In the course of the study, it was shown that in children with typical development, a facilitating effect on the discrimination of sound stimuli in the pre-exposure of congruent visual images compared with incongruent ones is reliable in the interstimulation intervals in the range 50–100 and 200–500 ms. In children with a delay in mental development, a significant manifestation of the facilitating influence depended on the level of general underdevelopment of speech. In children with a delay in mental development who have IV–III level of general speech underdevelopment (GSU), the facilitating effect was observed at interstimulant intervals in the range of 50–150 and 300–500 ms, in children with a delay in mental development who have III level of general speech underdevelopment, – 200–500 ms, and in children with a delay in mental development who have III–II level of general speech underdevelopment, – is 300–500 ms.
