Functional Relationships Between Higher Mental Processes and Spoken Language	129	(24)
Spoken language is the means by which higher mental processes derive their sociocultural origins	129	(3)
Spoken language is the initial and basic developmental stage of the speech system, which is always a factor in the formation of higher mental processes	132	(1)
Spoken language is a determining factor in the developmental stages of higher mental processes	133	(3)
Spoken language reorganizes the cortical zones that underlie higher mental processes	136	(2)
Spoken language is the means by which more elementary sensory systems of the brain are consciously controlled by higher mental processes	138	(4)
Spoken language is the customary source of auxiliary stimuli (``stimuli artificially introduced into the situation'' (Vygotsky, 1966, p. 24), which produce the mediated structure of higher mental processes	142	(1)
Spoken language is the means by which the individual becomes capable of conscious and voluntary processes	143	(3)
Spoken language is a component in the complex functional systems of other higher mental processes	146	(3)
