Vygotsky and Cognitive Science

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and cognitive science, the author presents a compelling argument that human beings embody both personhood and machine-like qualities. Through an analysis of language, Frawley illustrates how the computational mind utilizes language to bridge internal thoughts and external realities. By reconciling these two perspectives, he advocates for a Vygotskyan approach to cognitive science, emphasizing the importance of language in understanding the mind's functionality.
