Within the framework of the study of collective forms of arranging national scientific activity the paper presents the outcomes of the activity of the groups organized by L. S. Vygotsky at the Institute of Experimental Psychology, the Experimental Defectologic Institute, the All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine, and the Academy of Communist Education named after N. K. Krupskaya. The analysis of the titles and contents of the works published from 1924 to 1950 revealed the fact that prevailing number of researches were fundamental, a third part of which, however, had a practical orientation. The author has come to the conclusion that collective research activities were of importance for realization of L. S. Vygotsky’s general psychology ideas and methodological sets in the course of solving practical tasks in child and educational psychology, defectology, neuropsychology, and pathopsychology that were significant for public.
