The principle of double stimulation: A path to volitional action

“…The connection between double stimulation and volition, however, seems to be the least understood and articulated in the literature. Towsey (2009) engages in a discussion of double stimulation exclusively related to the development of concepts using the Zalkind Summary probably written by Vygotsky in 1930.

“…Psicología, Conocimiento y Sociedad 7(1) 76-97, (mayo 2017-octubre 2017) Respecto al desempeño en la tarea, se pudieron distinguir dos niveles de rendimiento, de lo cual se interpreta que la TFCA es una tarea que se encuentra dentro de la zona de posibilidades de resolución autónoma de los sujetos de este nivel de edad (Moreira, 2012;Towsey, 2009 Vygotski (1995) se relaciona con el proceso de interiorización del habla, después de los 7-8 años el niño comienza a utilizar el habla interna, pero aun así los sujetos continúan utilizando HP (Duncan & Tarulli, 2009). El marco propuesto por Wertsch (1991), supone que la coexistencia entre HP y habla interna se debe a la heterogeneidad, en vez de a una jerarquía genética.…”

Problem-solving styles in autism spectrum disorder and the development of higher cognitive functions

“…For almost a century, however, one particular theoretical framework – the socio-cultural theory of Vygotsky (Towsey, 2009; Yasnitsky and Ferrari, 2008) – has attempted to provide a socially grounded, unified account of typical individuals’ development of abstract representations – the so-called higher mental processes (Ursino et al, 2014) based on their concrete experience. The advantage of this framework is that it has been applied to the disruptions observed in intellectual deficiency (Bexkens et al, 2014; Danielsson et al, 2012) and psychopathological conditions such as schizophrenia (Tseng et al, 2015) and more recently in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism (Wallace and Stevenson, 2014).…”
