“…It is not possible to engage in object play without physical contact with the object, so this dimension encodes a necessary condition for one of the main play behaviours of interest during infancy. Furthermore, the fact that only voluntary contact is coded reflects the central place of self-directed, voluntary behaviour in definitions of play (Burghardt, 2005; Lillard et al, 2013; Miller, 2017; Sawyer, 2017). Therefore, voluntary physical contact with the object was deemed as congruent with a play-state in the sensorimotor dimension.…”

“…Play-related activity in the SM dimension occurs when the partner (mother or infant) is manipulating and/or touching the object in an exploratory manner, relatively free of external constraint. This criterion reflects the central place of self-directed, voluntary behaviour in definitions of play (Burghardt, 2005; Lillard et al, 2013; Miller, 2017; Sawyer, 2017). Finally, the C dimension captures the presence of attentional engagement, as well as the level of complexity of this cognitive engagement.…”

During early life, play is a ubiquitous activity, and an individual’s propensity for play is positively related to cognitive development and emotional well-being. Play behaviour is diverse and multi-faceted. A challenge for current research is to converge on a common definition and measurement system for play ‒ whether examined at a behavioural, cognitive or neurological level. Combining these different approaches in a multi-level analysis could yield significant advances in understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms of play, and provide the basis for developing biologically-grounded play models. However, there is currently no integrated framework for conducting a multi-level analysis of play that spans brain, cognition and behaviour. The proposed neuropsychological coding framework uses grounded and observable behaviours along three neuropsychological dimensions (sensorimotor, cognitive and socio-emotional), to compute inferences about playful behaviour and related social interactional states. Here, we illustrate the sensitivity and utility of the proposed coding framework using two contrasting dyadic corpora (N=5) of mother-infant object-oriented interactions during experimental conditions that were either conducive (Condition 1) or non-conducive (Condition 2) to the emergence of playful behaviour. We find that the framework accurately identifies the modal form of social interaction as being either playful (Condition 1) or non-playful (Condition 2), and further provides useful insights about differences in the quality of social interaction and temporal synchronicity within the dyad. In conclusion, here, we present a novel neuropsychological framework for analysing the continuous time-evolution of adult-infant play patterns, underpinned by biologically informed state coding along sensorimotor, cognitive and socio-emotional dimensions. We expect that the proposed framework will have wide utility amongst researchers wishing to employ an integrated, multi-level approach to the study of play, and lead towards a greater understanding of the neuroscientific basis of play and may yield insights into a new biologically-grounded taxonomy of play interactions.

Objetivo: determinar los aportes de investigaciones recientes sobre el lenguaje desde la perspectiva sociocultural.Metodología: se realizó un análisis de contenido temático con base en categorías preestablecidas: lenguaje interno, tipos de enseñanza, bilingüismo, y otras de carácter emergente: juego y participación en práctica. Las bases de datos que se utilizaron para la búsqueda fueron Psych Info, EBSCO, JSTOR y RedALyC. Se seleccionaron 38 investigaciones publicadas en revistas indexadas desde 2010. Resultados: se evidenció que, desde la perspectiva sociocultural, los estudios aportan una diversidad de temas relacionados con el lenguaje como la participación en práctica, el proceso de cambio de un lenguaje dirigido a uno interno, la importancia del juego en el desarrollo, los beneficios de la enseñanza explícita y el impacto del aprendizaje de un segundo idioma.Conclusiones: se concluye que unos temas parecerán saturados, pero una teoría sociocultural apostaría a que en realidad esto es inverosímil. El ser humano es producto de distintos contextos sociales, culturales e individuales, por lo que siempre existirán miradas distintas para abordar los temas relacionados con el lenguaje.

“…In the previous research, the authors worked on the interaction between mother and child. From another point of view, Sawyer (2016) demonstrates the impact on the private speech of children and the influence of motivation in game environments. Escotto (2011) demonstrates how this inner speech, shaped by different contexts and enriched by social interactions, can involve an otherness in a dialogical way.…”

Estudo da linguagem a partir da perspectiva sociocultural Estudio del lenguaje desde una perspectiva sociocultural Received on April 22, 2017. Accepted on July 17, 2017Julián Alí Laboy Rodríguez** Puerto Rico José Antonio Maldonado Martínez*** Puerto Rico AbstractObjetive: this paper aims to determine the contributions of recent research on language from a sociocultural perspective. Methodology: a thematic content analysis was performed based on preestablished categories: internal language, teaching types, bilingualism, and other emerging categories: games and practical participation. Psych Info, EBSCO, JSTOR and RedALyC were the sources of information and 38 published research articles were selected from indexed journals since 2010. Results: from the sociocultural perspective, it was evident that, these studies contribute to a diversity of issues related to language, such as: practical participation, the process of change from a guided to an internal language, the 18 learning a second language. Conclusions: it is concluded that some topics will seem to be studied in abundance but not from a Sociocultural Theory perspective. The human being is a product of different social, cultural and individual contexts; thus, there will always be different approaches to address issues related to language. ResumoObjetivo: determinar as contribuições de pesquisas recentes sobre a linguagem a partir da perspectiva sociocultural. Metodologia: uma análise de conteúdo temática foi realizada com base em categorias pré-estabelecidas: linguagem interna, tipos de educação, bilinguismo, e outras de caráter emergente: jogo e participação na prática. As bases de dados que foram utilizadas para a busca foram Psych Info, EBSCO, JSTOR e RedALyC. Foram selecionadas 38 pesquisas publicadas em revistas indexadas desde 2010. Resultados: evidenciou-se que, desde a perspectiva sociocultural, os estudos fornecem uma variedade de temas relacionados à linguagem, como a participação na prática, o processo de mudança de uma linguagem dirigida a uma interna, a importância do jogo no desenvolvimento, benefícios do ensino explícito e o impacto da aprendizagem de uma segunda língua. Conclusões: conclui-se que algumas questões parecem saturadas, mas uma teoria sociocultural apostaria a que na realidade isso é inverossímil. O ser humano é o resultado de diferentes contextos sociais, culturais e individuais, de modo que sempre existirão diferentes perspectivas para abordar questões relacionadas à linguagem.
