        abstract = {We describe a set of experiments investigating the role
of natural language symbols in scaffolding situated
action. Agents are evolved to respond appropriately to
commands in order to perform simple tasks. We
explore three different conditions, which show a
significant advantage to the re-use of a public symbol
system, through self-cueing leading to qualitative
changes in performance. This is modelled by looping
spoken output via environment back to heard input.
We argue this work can be linked to, and sheds new
light on, the account of self-directed speech advanced
by the developmental psychologist Vygotsky in his
model of the development of higher cognitive function.}
