Various theoretical models in psychology and the social sciences
have emphasized the social foundation of the mind and the role that
social interactions play in cognitive functioning and its
development. In this volume the metaphor used to capture this is
interactive minds - a term chosen because it emphasizes social
transaction and communication between minds without implying
particular mechanisms or outcomes. For instance, we include in our
conceptualization of interactive minds both internal and external
forms of interaction with others. In addition, we emphasize that
not all products of interacting minds are positive. Besides
focusing on the social foundation of cognition, Interactive Minds
takes a life-span perspective, which is especially suitable for
understanding interactive dynamics of behavior and human
development. Each of the authors deals with a different topic and
each presents a clear analysis of the basic dimensions of the
problem. Among the issues addressed are biological-evolutionary
aspects of cooperation, the role of social interaction in learning,
the conceptualization of linguistic knowledge, peer problem
solving, the psychological study of wisdom, gender dynamics,
collaborative memory in adults and the elderly, cooperative
construction of expert knowledge, and communities of practice in
university study.
