alleryVygotsky saw children's self-talk as a tool for:
AShowing immaturity
BCopying adult speech
CGaining adult attention
DSelf-guidance and control
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Self-guidance and control
1. Vygotsky argued that egocentric speech is part of normal development.
2. It supports communication, self-guidance and self-regulation of behaviour.
3. It also supports planning, pacing and monitoring skills.
4. Showing immaturity is Piaget's view, not Vygotsky's.
**Why not the others:** Showing immaturity is Piaget's view. Copying adult speech and gaining adult attention are not the purposes Vygotsky gave.
