This chapter discusses the contributions made by Soviet and behavioral (mostly American) psychologists. It provides the reader with an overview and evaluation of the major findings in this body of data. It is easy to name the Soviet investigators who have contributed to this area since, in most cases, they are the spokesmen or directors of a small number of research teams. Soviet psychologists have the distinction of having initiated studies of language and cognitive development before the topic became popular. It is likely their interest in this matter relates to a materialistic ideology which denies the independence of thought relative to language and proposes instead that it is in the latter that one finds the reality of the former. Vygotski’s position on language is presented in reaction to some of Piaget’s work.
