Smirnova. [Conditions for the transition from external to internal in solving problems by preschoolers]

Abstract:
One of the main problems in developmental and general psychology is the forming of internal action plan — the ability of mental-operating without hanging upon the real action. Authors provide research, aimed at detecting children ability to acting in speech. It has been shown that problem solving depends on object’s accessory to social or non-social category rather than its attractiveness or correctness. Authors although point out that this difference offsets by the age of six. The maximum difference in social and non-social problem solving is found in 4—5 year-old children. Research shows that social-task preference affects not only perception but although cogitation.
