Abstract: In this paper we present the results of the study of psychological correlates of effective learning self-regulation during biofeedback training, with special attention paid to the analysis of tolerance to ambiguity. It was shown that the training based on computer biofeedback allows modifying self-regulation profiles of the subjects towards more effective ones. The steadiness of the skills was confirmed. The psychological tolerance for ambiguity was found to be closely correlated with effective strategies of self-regulation.
