Mr. Jones gave his first-grade students some simple sorting and counting problems to work on. He noticed that the children, working independently, readily solved the problems, however, there was some self-talk, or “private speech.”  According to Vygotsky, what is likely to happen to children’s self-talk if Mr. Jones gives the children a more challenging task to solve?

• The amount of private speech should decrease because the children have to concentrate harder.
• The amount of private speech should remain the same because private speech is a natural part of development.
• The amount of private speech should increase because it facilitates problem solving through self-communication.
• The self-talk will stop.
