[xmca] William Frawley's "Vygotsky and Cognitive Science"

[p.lamplugh@lancaster.ac.uk]

  Dear XMCA community as a whole,
                                  I must ask as to whether or not, as a
first post in this community, if anybody
is able to provide any reasonable
back-reading to Frawley's work so
mentioned in the title? It would also be
of great pertinence to understand the
premises on which he mounts a critique
and advancement into this particular
realm. I've only flicked through this
work tentatively, which I hope will be
proved as my most frivolous waste of
time of the pat 2 years.   Opinions,
criticisms, appraisals, anything, these
are what i'm after, i'm thirsty for any
new information. The point to me is the
application of Vygotsky's proximal
zones, how these could be extended with
any rate of success through any means,
to educational praxis within any
cultural environment. I am also not
asking for anybody to read the
aforementioned book on my behalf, but I
would like to hear some creative output
from those whor contribute here,
especially on what to look out for in
this work.
    Thanks thricefold,
                     P.T.L.
