Apprendimento sociale, narrazione e costruzione della realtà
Abstract
Riassunto: In La narrazione nello sviluppo del bambino Dolores Rollo descrive gli effetti pedagogici delle attività di lettura condivisa di libri tra madre e offre una rassegna di studi sulle principali caratteristiche di questo fenomeno che possono influire sullo sviluppo del linguaggio, della cognizione e delle emozioni nella prima infanzia. Rollo ritiene necessarie ulteriori indagini, per comprendere più in profondità le caratteristiche dei libri che possono promuovere al meglio lo sviluppo infantile. Inoltre, l’autrice suggerisce come possa essere rilevante indagare popolazioni a sviluppo atipico, come quelle affette da Disturbo dello Spettro Autistico, in cui le abilità socio-comunicative sono compromesse. In questo commento intendiamo suggerire come la comprensione dei processi di attenzione condivisa possa trarre beneficio delle ricerche condotte dalle neuroscienze sociali, al fine di chiarire il ruolo centrale dei network neurali nelle capacità di condivisione dell’attenzione per lo sviluppo linguistico, l’apprendimento, l’acquisizione della Teoria della Mente e del senso di sé.

Learning, Narrative, and Construction of Reality
Abstract: In La narrazione nello sviluppo del bambino Dolores Rollo describes the pedagogical effects of mother-child bookreading activities reviewing the literature on the specific characteristics of this phenomenon that might influence the development of language, cognition, emotions and early literacy in infancy. Rollo suggests that further research is needed to better define which aspects of the bookreading activities best promote children’s development. Moreover, she suggests that it might be of interest to investigate the social deficits in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In our opinion, the understanding of joint attention processes might benefit from research in developmental social neuroscience that might contribute to clarifying the pivotal role of neural networks supporting joint attention in the development of language, cognition, Theory of Mind and the sense of self.
