> The most direct application of Vygotsky is to observe (and document) howthe
> verbal guidance of a more knowledgeable person is internalized assilent
> self-guiding inner speech. This is done through discourse analysis.Sometimes
> there is an intermediate step where the learner speaks parts of theverbal
> guidance outloud to him(her)self ( Social Speech - Private Speech -Inner
> Speech).[Note Vygotsky used the term egocentric speech instead of the
> contemporary term private speech]. It would be great to use neural imaging
> techniques to documenthow the cortical functions of the prefrontal cortices
> change as the executivefunction emerges as the self-guiding speech is
> employed and internalized.
> Two excellent books that deal with this process are Private Speech,
> Executive Functioning, and the Development of VerbalSelf-Regulation by
> Winsler, A,. et. al. ( Cambridge, 2009) The Prefrontal Cortex by Joaquin
> Fuster  (Academic Press, 2009).[Pages 369-371 discuss the development of
