Interiorization

The psychological term an interiorization was entered by the French scientists. The concept meant inoculation of ideology to an individual. That is, transfer of public consciousness in individual. In modern English-language dictionaries of psychological terms the interiorization is replaced with internalization. For psychoanalysts it is mental process which designates relationship with the real or imagined object, transformation of an external factor to internal. The interiorization problem in psychoanalysis remains debatable. Till today it is not found out whether processes of absorption, identifications, introjections are identical, or they are carried out in parallel each other.

In domestic psychology value an interiorization was given to the word by Vygotsky as the concept "vrashchivaniye" – transformation of external activity to the internal plan of consciousness. Development of human mentality, according to Vygotsky's theory, originally develops from the outside, depending on the external social factors accepted in society. External collective forms of activity by an interiorization are built in consciousness of the person and become individual.

Process of an interiorization

The highest mental functions develop first as external forms of activity, and only in the course of an interiorization they turn into mental processes of the individual. Researches at Vygotsky's school allowed to formulate the basic fundamental provisions:

• Creation of mental functions reveals only in the course of genesis when they develop, the structure becomes indiscernible, leaves deep into;
• Formation of mental processes discloses essence of the phenomenon which initially did not exist, but as a result of an interiorization it arose;
• The appeared essence of the phenomenon cannot be explained with usual physiological processes and logical schemes, but represents process which does not stop even after cancellation of this or that phenomenon.

By an interiorization there is a transformation of external signs into internal mental activity. Such process cannot independently take place. The correct mental development of the child is possible only in the conditions of communication with surrounding people.

By means of an interiorization of people studies to make mental plans, to develop options. In other words, receives ability to think of abstract categories.

Interiorization of activity

Any concept is an activity product therefore it is impossible to teach it. However it is possible to organize so training process that the interiorization of activity will occur step by step and progressively. Cogitative function in originally material action, being exposed to an interiorization, becomes a part of mental process. The intellectual plan is not some empty vessel which can be filled with something. The internal plan is the continuous process which is in a condition of formation. Each new intellectual action relies on experience which is gained thanks to an activity interiorization, and transition "from the outside inside", according to Galperin, is the main mechanism of formation of the intellectual plan. Galperin removed key parameters of transformation of action:

• Execution level;
• Generalization measure;
• Completeness of the carried-out operations;
• Measure of development of skill.

Levels of execution can differ with complexity, depending on objectives. Performance of this or that task can happen on three subtotals. It following actions:

• With material objects;
• By means of the speech, both oral, and written;
• In mind.

The highest level of an interiorization of activity consists in ability to make these or those actions "in mind", without using additional tools: book, calculator and so on.

Cerebration development stages

Formation of intellectual actions, according to Galperin's concept, takes place the following stages:

• Creation of the scheme of future action. Acquaintance with materials and requirements to a net result;
• Practical development when using physical items;
• Development of the set action without support on physical items, that is, process of an interiorization therefore there is a transfer of evident action in the internal plan. At this stage the external speech replaces specific objects;
• Full transfer of external speech action in cerebration. The person performs a task, thinking "about himself";
• The final stage of an interiorization means activity "only in mind".

The child passes consistently all these stages, developing thinking.

Social interiorization

In domestic psychology the interiorization means process of transformation of the interpersonal relations to the relations with itself. Acceptance, the processing and storage of sign information "in" mentality based on memory do not belong to the phenomenon of a social interiorization. In development of higher nervous activity of the person distinguish the following stages:

• The adult influences the child the word, inducing to this or that activity;
• The child studies a type of the address, new to it, and begins to influence the word the adult;
• The child influences the word himself.

Stages of a social interiorization there pass all people, without exception. The child is accustomed to cogitative activity without use of specific objects.

In the theory of activity the interiorization represents transfer of certain external actions in the internal, intellectual plan. External activity as a result of an interiorization undergoes some changes, especially in an operational part.

In psychoanalysis processes of influence of the interindividual relations, formation of structure of unconscious speak: individual and collective, as defines structure of consciousness.
