Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences. 2018. Vol. 54. No. 2. P. 101–116.
van der Veer R., Zavershneva E.
The seventh and last chapter of Vygotsky's Thinking and Speech
(1934) is generally considered as his final word in psychology. It
is a long chapter with a complex argumentative structure in which
Vygotsky gives his view on the relationship between thinking and
speech. Vygotsky's biographers have stated that the chapter was
dictated in the final months of Vygotsky's life when his health was
rapidly deteriorating. Although the chapter is famous, its structure
has never been analyzed in any detail. In the present articlewe reveal
its rhetorical structure and show how Vygotsky drew on many hitherto
unrevealed sources to convince the reader of his viewpoint.

Background:
Delay discounting refers to the tendency to choose sooner, smaller rewards over larger, later rewards. Many previous studies link this tendency positively to reward sensitivity, yet the specific mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. Reward sensitivity may relate to delay discounting through at least three possible pathways: increased sensitivity to reward size, increased sensitivity ...

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Many studies on different languages analyzed how spelling errors are produced and detected. Recently, a new generalization was made for several languages: frequently misspelled words are read more slowly, even when they are written correctly and one knows how to spell them. This is explained by the lower quality of their lexical representations diluted by ...
