N2  - The article examines the problem of the relationship between universal and specific forms of cultural-historical development of mental processes. From different methodological approaches, the author prefers an activity approach which emphasizes genetic primacy of external practical activity. This approach allows, according to the author, universality of internalization and at the same time ethnic uniqueness of mental processes. The article clarifies the problem of internalization through two practical examples: 1) the development of mental counting actions and 2) the process of human goal setting.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
