I wouldn't exactly put it that way. I think it's more that sociocultural
interpretations trace the complex relations between what goes on in the
firing neurons and what goes on between people, places, the weather, etc.
And they insist that these relations are important, that mind grows in
society, in activity, while at the same time, the many processes dedicated
to that growth ensure the continued existence of society and activity.
To understand, perhaps even influence learning, requires a focus on those
relations/relationships, on the dynamic, on the process, the movement,
the (often multiple) dialectic of mind, culture, activity.
Still have at least one week to catch up on...
oh well...
