Getting Vygotskian about theory of mind: Mediation, dialogue, and the development of social understanding

“…Vygotsky did not explicitly extend his remarks on the dialogicality of external social speech to the semiotically mediated, internalized cognitive processes that derive from it (Cheyne & Tarulli, 1999;Tappan, 1997;Wertsch, 1980). As such, this idea retains a particular status as a thread that can be drawn out of a certain interpretation of Vygotsky's writings, without representing a view that he explicitly endorsed.…”

“…Introspection tells us that we frequently ‗think in' natural language (Carruthers, 2002;Dennett, 1997;Hurlburt, 1990). Furthermore, the verbal thinking upon which we can sometimes introspect often appears to us as a kind of dialogue between distinct perspectives on reality (Fields, 2002;Tappan, 1997). The dialogic nature of human subjectivity has formed the basis of an important theory of self-organisation (Hermans, 1996;Hermans & Kempen, 1993;, and yet the cognitive-psychological implications of the dialogicality of human experience remain unexamined (Rochat, 2001).…”

“…Bakhtin's ideas about the sociocultural situatedness of utterances in everyday language-that is, their ability to betray the position of the speaker with respect to the physical and social worlds-have proved particularly fruitful for psychologists working within the sociocultural paradigm (e.g., Cheyne & Tarulli, 1999;Hermans, 2002;Hermans & Kempen, 1995;Tappan, 1997;Wertsch, 1980;. Specifically, an assimilation of the Bakhtinian concepts of voice and dialogue can provide a powerful extension of Vygotsky's theory, capable of speaking to some of the issues of most concern to modern developmental psychologists (Fernyhough, 1996;Fernyhough & Russell, 1997 For present purposes, the most important aspect of Bakhtin's work is his characterization of dialogue as involving a simultaneous accommodation of multiple perspectives (Fernyhough, 1996;Holquist, 1990).…”

‘Cheaters and Stalkers’: Accusations in a classroom

“…1978) metaphor of 'scaffolding', defined as a child performing above his or her normal level supported by the teacher (e.g. Tappan, 1997;. While these aspects are undoubtedly important and informative, this study believes that such studies of classroom interaction have more to say about the moral processes at work in school and the influence of peer interactions.…”

An Alternative Neo-Kohlbergian Approach in Social Pedagogy

“…Mark Tappan (1997Tappan ( , 1998Tappan ( , 2006 has developed the position of Rest and his colleagues further by proposing a synthesis between Kohlberg's theory and a socio-cultural perspective. Tappan is influenced by the pioneering work of Lev Vygotsky (1962) and the works of successors such as James Wertsch (1998).…”
