Private speech is a term coined by Lev Vygotsky to describe the internal monologues that people engage in while performing tasks. While Vygotsky believed that private speech was an important part of cognitive development, Jean Piaget did not consider it to be as significant. Erik Erikson is known for his theory of psychosocial development and Noam Chomsky is a linguist who specializes in language acquisition.
