Alexander Luria: Creator in the Perspective of Time

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Anticipation: Learning from the Past

Part of the book series: Cognitive Systems Monographs ((COSMOS,volume 25))

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze Luria’s heritage from the point of view of current interest in anticipation and anticipatory systems. Luria’s main concepts—“functional system,” “high psychic functions,” and cultural-historical conception are described. The language Luria used for presenting his concepts is discussed. The assumption is made that, although never using the word “anticipation,” Luria really considered the idea of future modeling.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Luria was actively involved in psychological research being conducted all over the world. He very often developed what other researchers had already started. One such example was his study of the peculiarities of thought in monovular and diovular twins. Very little is known about this research, since it was conducted at a biomedical institute that was closed in 1936 as a result of the events described above.
