14-September-2008 12:50:29 - Cultural-historical psychology Cultural-historical psychology the school of Vygotsky - a trend in psychological research founded by Lev Vygotsky in the end of the 1920s and developed by his students and followers in Eastern Europe and worldwide. Cultural-historical psychology emerged as a response to Cartesian dualism between mind and body in psychology of that time as a deliberate attempt to establish a new paradigm in psychological research that would overcome the narrow objectivism of behaviourism Watson and subjectivism of introspective psychology of Wundt, James, and others. It focuses on human development to make genetic claims about the function of mind in activity. These claims could be part of, or a basis for, a return to the unity of human sciences. Vygotsky and his associates postulate in principle non-adaptive character and the mechanisms of higher psychical mental functions development. Defining the main goal of psychological inquiry as an objective study of human consciousness, the members of Vygotsky's school investigate the role of cultural mediation and such cultural mediators as word, sign Vygotsky, symbol, myth Losev, V. Zinchenko in the development of human higher psychical functions, development of personality and its top-most' phenomenology. A basic distinguishing feature of cultural-historical psychology is that the species-specific characteristic of human beings is their need and ability to inhabit an environment transformed by the activity of prior members of their species. Such transformations and the mechanism of the transfer of these transformations from one generation to the next are the result of the ability/procilivity of human beings to create and use artifacts - aspects of the material world that are taken up into human action as modes of coordinating with the physical and social environment. Cole 1995, p. 190 In this way, research has been done into the effects of literacy Cole Scribner and mathematics Saxe outside of traditional schooling to understand how cognition develops embedded in a given place and time. Some of Vygotskian scholars - Aleksei N. Leontiev, A.R. Luria, Piotr Galperin, Vasily Davydov etc. in the Soviet Union - developed the Cultural-historical psychology's approach. Laszlo Garai1 in Hungary and Klaus Holzkamp2 in Germany developed, respectively, their own approaches to cultural-historical psychology. Other names for this psychology include: Socio-Historical psychology, Socio-Cultural Psychology, Activity theory, Cultural Psychology, Cultural Historical Activity Theory, and Social Development Theory.
