| Abstract | A dialogue between Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky is described and analyzed. Practical implications of the theoretical discussions between the psychologists are pointed out for parents, teachers, and other professionals who deal with children. Essential points of agreement for Piaget and Vygotsky concern the crucial role played by consciousness in determining behavior, and the reliance on the concept of adaptation in the biological sense for studying child development. The theorists' views also converge in many aspects of concept development, as they both see concepts as genuine acts of thought that change qualitatively over time. Areas of differences between Piaget and Vygotsky involve Piaget's "cognitive ego-centrism" and Vygotsky's tendency to overlook the limitations of biosocial adaptation. Also, the relative importance of different concepts in the educational process is disputed. It is concluded that both men were instrumental in revolutionizing the study of language and thought through (1) the development of clinical methods to study children's thinking, and (2) the systematic investigation of children's perception and logic.
