The Vygotskian advantage in cognitive modeling: Participation precedes and thus prefigures understanding
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 August 2003
Abstract
Shanker & King's (S&K's) proposal is consistent with a Vygotskian model of development which assumes that cognition is first social and visible, and only later internalized and invisible. Rather than slipping into positing “epistemic operators” like understand or intend as generative of behavior during language learning or theory of mind tasks, this approach profits from keeping its focus on charting the ontogeny of embodied interactions.
