How does Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development differ from Piaget's theory?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should contrast these two theories in terms of their different emphases:
Vygotsky's theory highlights the role of language and other sociocultural variables on cognitive
development while Piaget's theory centers on the role of maturational factors in cognitive
development and involves periods of development. A strong answer will provide specific
examples of these differences.
