In Soviet Studies in Mathematics Education (v.2, pp. 348-349) Davydov cites 25 papers in relation to the experimental work undertaken contributing towards this educational programme. These papers don't appear to be online and it's not clear whether any have been translated. Have the methods used in these studies been summarised anywhere? The abstract of one of these papers (Gal'perin, 1966, I believe) refers to imitation and the use of the zoped as a principal method. Whereas in later papers (e.g. Bugrimenko & Elkonin, 2002) we have statements such as "the dominant experimental method in our child psychology, a method worked out in detail as a functional-genetic model"). Part of the puzzle is that of the Davydov I have read, he does not refer to the functional-genetic model (or to the experimental methods). Thanks, Huw
