Piaget vs. Vygotsky

Piaget-- emphasized young children`s egocentric and non- social speech

Vygotsky-- believe language even at the earliest forms is socially based

I feel like I resonate more with Vygotsky's theory. When children are talking to themselves they are building their own communtiy, it is how the put things  in perspective. That could be a determination of an auditory learner. I talk to myself all the time when I am studying-- trying to make sense of concepts. In Piagets view this would be considered immature.
