Interacción social: influencia en el desarrollo representacional y linguístico

Abstract

The aim of this work is to show the different considerations made about the importance of social interaction in the representational development and mainly in the language development. Therefore an integration and contrast of the perspectives from authors like Alison Garton, Josef Perner y Jerome Bruner are presented. In addition we show how these authors enhance the representational function on one hand, and the language as building element of cognitive development on the other hand. Finally we show how Garton and Bruner's approach and the importance given to social interaction in psychological development differ from Perner's perspective.
