The Social Context of Cognitive Development

Beschreibung

Traditional approaches to cognitive development can tell a great deal about the internal processes involved in learning. Sociocultural perspectives, on the other hand, provide insights into the influences on learning of relationship and cultural variables. This volume provides a bridge between these disparate bodies of research, examining the processes through which children internalize the lessons learned in social contexts.
