Question

Just like with adults, young children talk to themselves. Whereas Piaget reasoned children talk to themselves because young children are not able to see things from another’s point of view, Vygotsky believed that children talk to themselves in order to solve problems or clarify thoughts and thus referred to self-talk as what?

Answer 1

Answer:

Egocentric and Inner Speech

Explanation:

Self talk can be referred to as Egocentric and Inner Speech which is the way children talk to themselves either through an event or activity.

Example a child may continue to speak with him/her self especially when playing and in some case this child can talk to him/her self in order to solve problem.

Self talk can happen at any stage of a child development especially when the child is alone in which such child will often think aloud by trying to utilize the social aspect of speech and this children in some cases cannot understand the thoughts of their peers or age group.

Answer 2

Answer:

He believed that the social interactions with adults and more learned peers can facilitate a child’s potential for learning. Without this interpersonal instruction, he believed children’s minds would not advance very far as their knowledge would be based only on their own discoveries.

Vygotsky’s best known concept is the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Vygotsky stated that children should be taught in the ZPD, which occurs when they can almost perform a task, but not quite on their own without assistance. With the right kind of teaching, however, they can accomplish it successfully.
