Private Speech From Social Interaction To Self-regulation

"...an important contribution to the study of the origins of thought....an edited volume conceived within the intellectual tradition of Vygotsky. For anyone interested either in recent thinking within Vygotsky's theory or in cognitive development, this is an important book. Clinicians are likely to have particular interest in the chapters on private speech in older populations and on the influence of environmental factors on private speech."
ASHA

"Its two chapters offer a comprehensive examination of private speech theory and research and an analysis of challenging methodological issues that must be resolved to advance the field....Several chapters add to the literature documenting the central role of private speech in problem solving and highlight the multiple ways in which private speech serves as a self-regulatory tool."
