Cultural tools
|
the development of a child’s thinking depends on his mastery of the social means of thinking, that is, speech.
Through continuous interaction with others, especially adults and older children, a child revises and advances his or her levels of understanding. Over time, the mastery of these cultural tools or symbol systems will permit the individual to alter their environment and guide, regulate, and redefine themselves |

intermental to intramental
