Note:  It is interesting to note that Vygotsky was the translator of Piaget's book, The Language and Thought of Children, and Vygotsky's first book to be translated into English was also entitled Language and Thought.  These two people really did know of each other's work as Stephen Toulmin also recognizes (refrence #3. above).  Their common concern for matters of the "mind" is also a significant influence on Howard Gardner's thinking .
