The aim of this article is to analyse how the mind becomes social regarding Bruner's ideas as well as Valsiner's. Bruner, who considers the mind as meanings creator, seeks at understanding the interaction through which the mind constitutes and is constituted by the environment. Bruner proposes a psychology which is interested in the action, its situational feature as well as the way which human beings produce meanings within cultural contexts. According to the author these people are results from the meanings production process, accomplished with the aid of the environmental symbolic systems. This article will approach the themes once discussed by the author so as to serve as a basis to such assumptions. Valsiner will appear as a contemporary scholar in activity, whose premises claim changes, particularly researches in Development Psychology which are similar to those presented by Bruner 50 years ago. Such discussions have become relevant in the "psychology rooms", mainly those related to research and education.
