This interdisciplinary work presents an integration of theory and
research on how children develop their thinking as they participate
in cultural activity with the guidance and challenge of their
caregivers and other companions. The author, a leading
developmental psychologist, views development as an apprenticeship
in which children engage in the use of intellectual tools in
societally structured activities with parents, other adults, and
children. The author has gathered evidence from various
disciplines--cognitive, developmental, and cultural psychology;
anthropology; infancy studies; and communication
research--furnishing a coherent and broadly based account of
cognitive development in its sociocultural context. This work
examines the mutual roles of the individual and the sociocultural
world, and the culturally based processes by which children
appropriate and extend skill and understanding from their
involvement in shared thinking with other people. The book is
written in a lively and engaging style and is supplemented by
photographs and original illustrations by the author.
