Infants' instrumental social interaction with adults
pp. 323-348
Abstract
The role of social interaction in guiding children's development is receiving increasing attention as an explanation for children's rapid learning (Azmitia, 1988; Newman, Griffin, & Cole, 1989; Rogoff, 1986, 1990; Valsiner, 1987; Vygotsky, 1978; Wertsch, 1979). This increasing emphasis on the facilitating role of adults and peers helps to place child development in context, rather than focusing on individual children as if they develop in a vacuum, uninfluenced by the people around them and by the social and technological inventions they learn to employ.
