Description
Summary:<p>The animation complex is a child development milestone widely used in historical-cultural psychology. However, the emergence of the animation complex concept predates the emergence of cultural-historical psychology. This paper is a narrative review whose main objective is to recover the genesis of the concept of the animation complex and the process of linking and appropriation of this by historical-cultural psychology. Bibliographical research was carried out on the publications from 1960 to 2021, from which a difference between its uses in reflexology and historical-cultural psychology was deduced. Starting from the centrality of this construct for development research, we sought to reconstitute the genealogy of this concept from the rescue of these different conceptions of complex animation.</p>
