L. S. Vygotsky and Contemporary Developmental Psychology.
Wertsch, James V.; Tulviste, Peeter
Developmental Psychology, v28 n4 p548-57 Jul 1992
Outlines themes from L.S. Vygotsky's writings. His claims about the social origins of individual mental functioning have implications for the definitions of cognition and memory and for the pursuit of research on mental processes. His understanding of culture is derivative of his account of the mediation of mental functioning. (BC)
