The study is devoted to assessing the digital literacy of schoolchildren and their attitudes to STEM, depending on the digital level of the school's environment. Four schools have been assigned a digital level based on the DESI score. The results showed that schoolchildren from schools with a higher digital level have less endorse stereotypes related to STEM. At the same time, boys’friends from schools with an average digital level have more positive attitudes towards math which is an important predictor of STEM choice for future career. The level of digital literacy of schoolchildren became an insignificant factor for students' attitudes to STEM.

The study tests hypotheses about the activation of two quantity systems in different conditions of access to stimuli visual parameters. 23 participants (M=26,83 years, SD=9,78 years) performed tasks for non-symbolic comparison of quantities, for perceptual accuracy, for comparison of non-symbolic and symbolic quantities. As a result, new experimental data were obtained to explain the cognitive and psychophysiological mechanisms of the non-symbolic numerosity representation.
