The purpose of this study is to actualize one problem of modern education: the research methodology for the study of the cognitive activity of the subject.
A variety of methodological approaches can be found in the modern studies of the cognitive activity; however, a holistic perception of the considered phenomenon can be obtained based on a system-style approach, providing resolution of the main problems of the study of this phenomenon, in particular, of the semantic-structural, deterministic, and diagnostic problems. In the article, there are presented the main aspects of the author's conception of a system-style study of the cognitive activity: a dynamic structure is considered, the key style characteristics are distinguished, and the styles of the cognitive activity of the subject are described.
