The Theory of A. R. Luria: Functions of Spoken Language in the Development of Higher Mental Processes

Rating:
Summary: Nicely condensed summary of the theory of Luria
Review: The book is laid out starting with an overall summary of Luria's theory before analyzing specific components such as verbal regulation, memory, consciousness, and cognitive development. This book did a nice job of bringing several decades of Luria's work together along with that of his colleages into a condensed yet thorough summary and analysis of his life's work. It has a complete glossary of terms for easy reference and a extensive bibliography that allows for further reading on particular areas of interest. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Soviet Psychology.
