This book is a compilation of theoretical and empirical advances related
to the phenomenon of inner speech in education, and is aimed at
academics and researchers in the area of psychology, education and
culture.
Inner speech has been a focus of multidisciplinary interest. It is a
long-standing phenomenon of study in philosophy, psychology, and
anthropology. Researchers from different disciplines have turned their
efforts to understand this inherent experience of being "talking to
oneself". In psychology, Vygotsky managed to develop a complete
description of the phenomenon, giving rise to a great line of research
related to inner speech in the human experience.
This book derives from an international research program, related to
cultural psychology, socio-constructivism, developmental psychology and
education. It opens the door for new debates and emerging ideas.
