The results of the research. It was shown, that we connect the effective solution of the problem of Subject activity with the solution of the question of what it is the source of this activity. We’d like to note that the external Cognitive Activity of the person depends on the internal Cognitive Activity not only in the sense that any external influences are realized only through the internal characteristics, but the internal ones also have its own direct source of the activity and development. Analyzing Pre-Subjective Cognitive Activity, including genotypic influences, in which the biological and social prerequisites of the development are suppressed. We believe that it is necessary to take into account spontaneity in the development of the Subject of Cognitive Activity. We introduce the concept of a center of Subject’s Activity, the formation of which is manifested in a gradual change in the relationships between External and Internal types of Cognitive Activity: from the prevailing orientation of External through Internal Content to the increasing dominance of the tendency Internal through External Senses.

A form of Subjectivity is conscious self-regulation of human activity and behavior. The implementation of the Subject of Cognitive Activity is determined by the interaction of formed self-regulation skills and components of subjective experience. We single out the following components of Subject’s experience: 1) valuable experience (related to the formation of interests, ethical norms, ideals, beliefs); 2) the experience of reflection; 3) the experience of habitual activation; 4) operational experience; 5) the experience of cooperation.
