A time ago I give one question about Vygotsky's theory. Now I give
again
In the text "Tool and symbol in child development" (publicado in Rene Van
der Veer and Jaan Valsiner, The Vygotsky Reader, Blakwell), Vvgotsky points:
"These 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" P. 109
In the book "Thought and Speech" Vygotsky marked what the analysis unit to
approach the relations between though and speech is the word.

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

This question is related with the research which we are making because it
is connected with the evaluation of children development who are being
attended upon in our project.
We are attending upon children who are difficulty apprenticeship . They are
making psychotherapy of analityc base and participate in psycopedagogic
group. In the psycopedagogic group we stand the children in situations where
there is exchange of experiences, games, plays etc... These situations to
make possible the children to express oneself of much forms, with divers
recourses: writing, speech, mime,etc... The idea is to offer to the children
one space where they can to give one new meaning to their actions, feelings,
scholastics activities, apprenticeship, errores, etc...
In the sense I think what we cann't to give one analysis solely of children
verbalizations or speechs because are various the expression and
communication channels and they involve perception, speech and action.
What think you hence?
