The purpose of the work is to conduct a comparative analysis of the characteristics of mental processes in students with different levels of health. As a result of the study, it is found that students with visual impairments have higher level of attention distribution and logical memory, while their speed of processing information is lower, in comparison with students with normal vision. Based on the results obtained, recommendations for increasing the level of cognitive processes in students are proposed.
