The current stage of cultural-historical psychology: the direction of development

Boris Danilovich Elkonin

Abstract


The article introduces modern ideas on the intentional object of the cultural-historical theory and the activity theory. The Mediation Action is thought to be this object. Mediation Action, where supporting points of activity are the result, a field of activity is the effect, and a meaning of a psychological tool is the product, is an act of development.
