I study the ontogenetic development and social origins of self-regulation from a
neo-Vygotskian perspective. I am interested in children's use of private speech
both as a mechanism for moving from the inter- to the intra-personal plane and
as a tool of thought. I am also interested in the processes of adult-child
scaffolding and peer collaboration in formal and informal educational settings.
Recently, I have been applying a sociocultural framework to understanding the
development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, a
framework which integrates both biological and environmental causal influences
interpreted in terms of reciprocal interactions between the cultural and natural
lines of development.
I look forward to returning to the list (I'm a little late in re-subscribing
under the new procedures).
