Thank you, very much, Larry, will be really helpfull. It'a a very interesting approach. Thank you again. Together with Peter's article this enrich all my sources for undertanding.

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 creativity as prefrontal self-regulationof imagination with direct reference to the work of both Vygotsky and Luria. Thisis consistent with my interpretation of Vygotsky's theory of creativity - seeSmolucha, L. and Smolucha, F.

Along many years I had thought about Vygotsky's claim that "“Semiotic [and/or "semantic" = semicheskyj] analysis is the only adequate method for the study of the systemic and semantic structure of consciousness.” (see http://www.marxists.org/archive/vygotsky/works/1934/problem-consciousness.htm). But it is not so clear how to proceed "Semiotic/semantic analysis". Then, if you pleased, could somebody help me, shining my mind about the (im)possibilities about somebody really learn *how to do* such kind of analysis? Here in Brazil, close to me, there is nobody working with something in this direction, then I have no local resources to ask for... Forgive me about the naive character of the question, but I really want to learn about. > > > > Thank you very much, once more.
