This series of articles is devoted to understanding cultural norms as one of the key problems of contemporary general psychology. In the first part of this work, I identified the basic differences between the natural and the cultural conditions of social life; in the second, I described a phenomenon that occurs when they are functionally intermingled. Study of the laws and mechanisms of existence of this phenomenon turned out to be close to our everyday life experience, to our rapidly changing routines, and resulted in posing this problem as a psychological problem. However, changes in everyday life are taking place so rapidly that many postulates, results, and interpretations of concrete examples that initially seemed to be revelations are now obvious, and the new situations are not clear. Specifically, usually the observance and understanding of cultural norms are something that comes about with the genesis and development of the personality; but the phenomenon I identified is a simulac...","PeriodicalId":198083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian and East European Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131041109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In making this claim, Vygotsky was confronted with the difficulty of reconciling it with the fact that newborn infants already possess certain mental functions. Vygotsky's answer to the problem was the introduction of an important distinction between lower mental functions (LMFs) and higher mental functions (HMFs) (Vygotsky, 1983). The relationship between the two types of function in Vygotsky's theory was not strictly determined. In some cases an LMF can be a prerequisite for the development of an appropriate HMF (e.g., unmediated memory can be developed in mediated and voluntarily controlled memory); in other cases, HMFs exist in an inter-subjective form and are merely learned by the child in the process of education and shared activities (e.g., writing or reading skills).","PeriodicalId":198083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian and East European Psychology","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122642455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, I should like to pose a number of questions, such as: Is this system of concepts of any significance, i.e., is it able to work in psychology? Obviously, this system must be developed, which essentially has not been done in recent years. This system of concepts is frozen, without any movement. I personally was quite alone in this respect.
