Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky’s Cognitive Development Theory argues that cognitive abilities are socially guided and constructed. As such, culture serves as a mediator for the formation and development of specific abilities, such as learning, memory, attention, and problem solving.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Vygotsky, private speech is indicative of early cognitive processing and allows us to hear how children think about their own behavior and select courses of action.

Detailed explanation-3: -While Piaget may view private speech as egocentric or immature, Vygotsky understood the importance of self-directed speech. Private speech is considered to be self-directed regulation and communication with the self, and becomes internalized after about nine years (Woolfolk, A., 2004).
