Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vygotsky and Luria believed that egocentric or private speech, in which children talk to themselves aloud, was a way for children to regulate their own behavior and thoughts. This self-regulation is seen as a precursor to self-control and ultimately leads to the ability to adapt to new situations and engage in more complex problem-solving. Egocentrism is a separate concept related to a child's inability to see things from another person's perspective, and accommodation refers to the process of changing one's existing mental schemes to fit new information. Neither of these are direct precursors to private speech or self-regulation.
