hypothesizing seems likely to follow a ‘hybrid route’. Respectively‚ current theories of cognitive development need to recognize the significance of knowledge construction‚ emphasized by Piaget‚ along with the social world‚ mainly focused on by Vygotsky.

During the sensorimotor stage children at first rely solely on the reflexes (sucking and rooting for example) that they were born with. Intelligence manifests itself through motor activities‚ for example children learn to crawl and walk during this stage. Most of the knowledge acquired during this stage is through

Children do not develop in isolation. Vygotsky (1978) states: "Every function in the child’s cultural development appears twice: first‚ on the social level‚ and later‚ on the individual level; first‚ between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological). This applies equally to voluntary attention‚ to logical memory‚ and to the formation of concepts. All the higher functions originate as actual relationships between individuals." Vygotsky (1978) also states that "learning

found a solution that is both simple and instructive (at least for me)‚ namely‚ to try and see whether or not Vygotsky’s criticisms seem justified in the light of my later work. The answer is both yes and no: on certain points I find myself more in agreement with Vygotsky than I would have been in 1934‚ while on other points I believe I now have better arguments for answering him. We can begin with two separate issues raised by Vygotsky’s book: the question of egocentrism in general and the more specific question of egocentric speech
