Circa l’autore
Ivan D. Ivić is a Professor of Developmental and Educational Psychology at the University of Belgrade. In his work, he has meaningfully integrated two major theoretical approaches to human development: Piagetian constructivism and Vygotskian socio-constructivism. His contribution to the development of symbolic function, which represents a key milestone in the early child development process, is still innovative and inspiring. It offers an original conception that explains how the symbolic function emerges from a specific interplay of cognitive, emotional, social, and pragmatic aspects.
