Hi Mike and Dear ALL!

Mike asked:
> So, what question concerning CHAT is on your mind?

My concern is that people from different fields apparently view
"development" in very different ways, thus creating confusion whenever we
are discussing development. We have had the same situation with "learning,"
but at least with learning we admit openly that we have different learning
theories. Development, what is development?

I am always curious why people don't, for example, discuss the development
of higher psychological functions versus lower psychological functions? Is
Vygotsky's concept obsolete, not deserving, or falsified (if so, by whom?)?

Cheers,
Natalia.
