Vygotsky's social psycholinguist approach is not incompatible with computationalapproaches to the study of mind. In this way William Frawley sets the stage for a Vygoskyancognitive science. Socioculturalists' theorizing on the work of the human mind has longmaintained boundaries against cognitive science's information processing approaches andlanguage, and vice versa. Frawley argues that no such division is entirely necessary and offerspowerful ways of linking the two ways of thinking. Frawley's background in bothVygotskyan and other sociocultural theories, as well as in cognitive science and computationaltheories, places him in an important position to make these links.
