Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky was a key figure in Soviet Psychology who studied children and developed his own theories about how learning occurs. He believed that learning happens in three different stages: cognitive, motoric, and sociocultural.

Detailed explanation-2: -The major theme of Vygotsky’s theoretical framework is that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition.
