Self-Regulatory Functions of Children's Private Speech: A Critical Analysis of Recent Challenges to Vygotsky's Theory.
Frauenglass, Marni H.; Diaz, Rafael M.
Developmental Psychology, v21 n2 p357-64 Mar 1985
Recent empirical findings have challenged Vygotsky's theory regarding the self-regulatory functions of children's private speech. This study hypothesized that semantic tasks and instructions to talk out loud would maximize private speech production. Results supported Vygotsky's notion that private speech does not disappear with age but "goes underground" to constitute inner speech. (Author/DST)
