GOMES, Cláudia Aparecida Valderramas. Affections, culture and mediation: specificities of development in children between zero to three years. Perspectiva [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.3, pp.813-828. ISSN 0102-5473.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2014v32n3p813.

Announcing the materiality of human psychological processes, the cultural-historical psychology emphasizes that culture is the source of development, that is, it is through the inclusion of children, from birth, in the universe of language, objects and the history of men that they constitute their human condition. This paper aims to present some particularities of child development in the first three years of life, highlighting the affective processes and the interposition of culture in it. Using as main theoretical contribution Vygotsky's approach to psychology and, mainly, the content of his Selected Works, volume IV, the article aims to contribute to debate early childhood education indicating the role that mediators, especially educators, play in this process as an expression of a new attitude as to learning and development.

Keywords : Education; Child Psychology; Socio-Historical-Cultural Theory.
