Mind as Action
Wertsch, James V. (Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, Washington Unviversity)
A study which argues against reductionist accounts of human cognition and proposes a sociocultural perspective, moving beyond the isolated individual. The author claims that, in many human endeavours, the outcomes we are interested in are not determined by the information processing ability of the individual, but by forces in the environment.
