“…Apart from omissions, an analysis of errors shows a certain percentage of perseverative responses, but they are never as pervasive as Luria seems to indicate: Rondal found about 20% perse verative responses with a method and procedure that satisfies all the criteria of Wozniak. In this condition, the addition of a verbal response of the type 'go' or 'squeeze' could therefore hardly improve the motor response. In fact, Jarvis and Bronckart observed no difference between the silent and the verbal condition; in the rare cases where there was a slight improvement, this was primarily due to the suppression of perseverative responses [Wilder, 1969;Rondal, 1972], Bronckart and Rondal have replicated the experiment in which the child is asked to press twice when the light appears. The results of both investigators were similar: from 3 to 4 years, 20 to 30% correct responses; from 4 to 5 years, 40 to 60%; and from 5 years onward, more than 80% correct responses.…”

The Regulating Role of Speech

This paper reexamines some theoretical and methodological questions relative to LURIA’S concept on the regulating role of speech. Five main points are demonstrated: (1) VYGOTSKY’S stage concept lacks the functional invariants of the subject’s activity, which determine the developmental course characteristic of Piaget’s stages; (2) LURIA’S methodology remains partly obscure in spite of WOZNIAK’S recent review of this topic; (3) silent control conditions indicate that children succeed on tasks without accompanying speech, hence the attribution of regulation to speech is unfounded; (4) difficulties in coordination between a vocal and manual response explain the results more adequately than the concept of inhibition; (5) LURIA’S concept of language neglects the syntactic aspect; however, it includes aspects of general intelligence which a theory such as PIAGET’S can separate from language.

“…Algunos investigadores han enfatizado este aspecto (Wozniak, 1972;Tinsley y Waters, 1982) al demostrar que gran parte de las réplicas a los trabajos de Lut;a y cols. se hicieron bajo la óptica conductista-mediacionista imperante en los inicios de los años sesenta (Wilder, 1969;MiIler, Shelton y Flavell, 1970).

INTRODUCCIONEl propósito de este artículo es el de exponer algunas ideas aportadas por las investigaciones occidentales, en torno a la 'regulación de la actividad, siguiendo una línea de trabajos iniciada en la Unión Soviética por A. R. Luna (1969Luna ( , 1973Luna ( , 1974Luna ( , 1984 e inspirada por L. S. Vygotski (1934Vygotski ( /1973. En esta misma dirección, pretendemos cubrir varios objetivos, como hacer un amplio desarrollo de los aspectos cognitivos de la actividad voluntaria; determinar la influencia que, 'sobre dichos aspectos, ejerce el habla reguladora; y, también, presentar otras formas alternativas de regulación y control sugeridas indirectamente por algunos investigadores actuales (Bronckart, 1981;Bronckart y Ventouras-Spycher, 1979; Zivin, 1979;Frauenglass y Díaz, 1985). Igualmente, queremos exponer nuestra visión personal de los aspectos impulsivo y activadores de habla reguladora y abordar una posible explicación de sus orígenes. Una vez analizados estos aspectos en profundidad, presentaremos aquí nuestra concepción al respecto, que denominamos «teoría de la modulación de activación». Dicha teoría trata de profundizar en el plano más adaptativo de los procesos ligados a la función impulsiva y a la «activación» (arousal) del habla reguladora, sin los cuales es imposible entender la importancia que esta habla ejerce desde una perspectiva atencional.Consideramos especialmente importante cubrir estos aspectos, porque a nuestro juicio la teoría y los trabajos de Luna se han estudiado siempre desde perspectivas sesgadas, sin tomar en consideración que su posición es muy amplia, encabalgada entre la psicología evolutiva y la neuropsicología. Dado el escaso conocimiento que tenemos de la psicología soviética, nos hemos acercado a ella con apriorismos sacados de nuestras propias tradiciones científicas. Esto ya sucedió a comienzos de los años sesenta, cuando el conductismo mediacionista creyó ver en Luna su tabla de salvación (Wozniak, 1972). Nos atreveríamos a decir que algo similar Viene a suceder hoy-en día. Es posible que la mayoría de los investigadores que abordan el estudio de la obra de Vygotski o cualquiera de sus seguidores, lo haga en base a posicionamientos previos (psicolingüísticos, cognitivistas, etc.) que son científicamente honestos pero que, llegado el caso, pueden confundir más que ayudar. No hemos de olvidar que el punto de partida de los psicólogos soviéticos es un concepto holista, el de «actividad» (Leon-

“…With one exception [Joynt and Cambourne, 1968], investigators outside the Soviet Union [Jarvis, 1968;Miller et al, 1970;Wilder, 1969] who have specifically attempted to replicate aspects of the Soviet program of research have met, in their own judgment, with almost total lack of success. These studies will now be reviewed in detail and, in the light of the previous discussion, several hypotheses will be advanced to account for this lack of success.…”

Verbal Regulation of Motor Behavior – Soviet Research and Non-Soviet Replications

Soviet investigations of the development of verbal inhibition of perseverative manual behavior are reviewed; and Luria’s theroretical analysis is critically examined within the broader context of the Soviet psycho-philosophical position on the development of voluntary behavior. Unsuccessful non-Soviet attempts to replicate the Soviet work are then discussed; and it is suggested that failure to replicate may be traced to inappropriate methodology deriving from misinterpretation of the nature of verbal-inhibitory phenomena and lack of appreciation for underlying Soviet psycho-philosophical assumptions. Lastly, non-Soviet investigations of verbal-manual interaction are considered in relation to the Soviet view of the development of voluntary behavior; and it is argued, on the basis of this evidence, that the Soviet position need not stand or fall on the replicability of the specific verbal-inhibition-of-perseveration phenomena described by Luria.
