The dialogic nature of double consciousness and double stimulation: Implications from Peirce and Vygotsky

The objective in this paper is to demonstrate the indispensability of Peirce’s double consciousness foster abductive reasoning, so that internal/external dialogue inform worthiness hunches. These forms establish a mental give-and-take forum which novel meanings/effects are particularly highlighted and noticed. Such attentional shifts compelled by surprising states affairs within beholder’s internal, interpretive competencies, or from external factors (pictures, gestural linguistic performatives). dialogic nature these signs pre-forms operations not possible non-dialogically; they command, interrogate, suggest alterations established conduct/beliefs contexts propositional/argumentative conflicts obviated.
 This inquiry proposes experimental methodologies measure when (via private/inner speech) mediates hypothesis-making. Vygotsky’s conflict motive at four distinct developmental stages constitutes foundation for proposed experiments. Designs draw upon ‘double stimulation’ paradigms force decision-making processes surface. Paradigms include forced imitation one model while ignoring another (imitating bear, dragon), altering visual array depict logical sequencing accurately (the “Cycles Test”; “The Odd One Out”). require children change their accommodate atypical affairs.
