Historical and cultural approach understands psychological development as the product of the interaction between adult and child. Such interaction is not postulated as something static and obligatory, but as a possibility of specific kinds of activities at each moment of development. The central nervous system is given by birth, while the cultural interaction is always a potential possibility. The historical and cultural approach considers development as a process of potential possibility for the acquisition of cultural experiences, accumulated in all previous generations in the history of mankind. Acquisition of cultural experience within cultural actions (activities) directed to goals shared with an adult emerge stabilization of voluntary actions and, at the same time, conformation of functional unions of nervous mechanisms. In this conception, a nervous system is not the source of psychological functions, but functional mechanisms of psychological actions, which conform functional systems or functional organs [3]. Functional systems do not result in natural maturation, but of cultural activities shares with an adult.
