Abstract
Some phenomena of projective identification, as examined by Ryle on the basis of the Procedural Sequence Object Relations Model, are readdressed by using the Vygotskian notion of joint sign-mediated activity as the earliest form of psychological process. This notion is elaborated by presenting Clark's empirical studies of the emergence of gestural communication.Keywords
