Foreword to the Publication

Abstract

Cultural-Historical Psychology is continuing its publication of the transcripts of L.S. Vygotsky’s lectures on child psychology at the Academy of Communist Education in 1928 (the first two lectures were published in the previous issue). In addition to the results of Vygotsky’s own research, these lectures also provide an overview of the concepts and experiments by Titchener, Lewin, Piaget and other famous psychologists. The complex theoretical material is presented in an accessible form, taking into account the modest level of training of many listeners. The Academy admitted mostly communists and member of Komsomol who had a secondary school diploma and work experience in public education.
