Jean Piaget on Self-Talk - Dictionary of Arguments
Upton I 76 Self-Talk/Piaget/Upton: Piaget (1923)(1) called self-tak egocentric speech and suggested that it reflects some of the limitations of young children’s cognitive skills, which we discuss in the next section. >Cognitive development/Piaget. VygotskyVsPiaget: In contrast, Vygotsky argued that all speech, including self-talk, is ‘social’ and therefore self-talk did not disappear – it simply becomes internalised. >Self-Talk/Vygotsky. Vygotsky argued that to believe that self-talk disappears would be like believing that children stop counting when they stop using their fingers to do so. Vygotsky alleged that, even when internalised, self-talk continues to guide a child’s actions. This idea is given some support by the way in which the conscious use of self-talk intensifies when children are presented with tasks of increasing difficulty. >Vygotsky, >Self-Talk. 1. Piaget, J.
