Vygotskiy. [Eidetics]

Abstract:
L.S. Vygotsky analyzes the approach of Marburg school of Erich Jensch to eidetic phenomena of personality, or “images of memory,” as something intermediate between sequential images and images of representations (trace irritations). It is emphasized, that the most important consequence of new teaching is the restructuring of traditional knowing of perceptions. Using eidetism as an example, the contradiction between the empirical base and the difficulties of establishing the concept of a new direction of psychology is analyzed here. Speaking about pedagogical significance of eidetism studies, author points to doctrine of the plasticity of all strongly psychological functions, of even the most elementary. Even the perception, which traditional psychological teaching speaks of as a function, resting from the very beginning on innate foundations, almost undeveloped, unplastic and therefore ill-educated, becomes the object of education. The field of education – thereby - widens widely. The world, perceived and represented, its picture and structure, which form the basis of all experience and all higher processes, should first of all be the object of pedagogical work.
