Brinck, Ingar; Liljenfors, Rikard – Infant and Child Development, 2013

When pragmatic, world-directed actions cannot reduce the distance to the goal, agents engage in epistemic action directed at cognition. Such actions often are physical and involve other people, and so are open to…

Josephs, Ingrid E.; Valsiner, Jaan – European Journal of Developmental Science, 2007
Both the polyvalent notions of culture and development have been central for building psychological theories.

Development is surely culturally informed, yet the process of cultivation is largely…
