ABSTRACT
In the early 1930s, aiming at analysing Leontiev’s book The development of memory, Leontiev and Vygotsky wrote a second preface to it, presenting the work, observing its qualities, and discussing some aspects they evaluated as fragile. The goal of this paper is to carry out a theoretical historical analysis of that preface, highlighting the investigative procedures applied about the concept of memory, the criticisms made bythe authors and how the historical-cultural theory understood memory.
