I have several questions about Vygostky's theory. Here goes one... I
don=B4t have clearness over much points of Vygotsky's theory, thus I wait=
HELP of
xmcaers...

In the text =93Tool and symbol in child development=94 (publicado in
Rene Van der Veer and Jaan Valsiner, The Vygotsky Reader, Blakwell),
Vvgotsky points:

=93These observations lead us to the conclusion that the child solves a
pratical task with the help of not only eyes and hands, but also speech.
This newly born *unit* of perception, speech and action, which leads to the
re-construction of laws of the visual field, constitues the real and vital
object of analysis aimed at studying the origin of specifically forms of
behaviour=94 P. 109

In the book =93Thought and Speech=94 Vygotsky marked what the analysis unit=
to
approach the relations between though and speech is the world.

Thus I ask: what is the analysis unity apropriated to study human=
behaviour?
