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: -Vygotsky claimed that we are born with four ‘elementary mental functions’ : Attention, Sensation, Perception, and Memory. It is our social and cultural environment that allows us to use these elementary skills to develop and finally gain ‘higher mental functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Lev Vygotsky, however, egocentric speech is in part vocalized social speech geared to solving problems and develops into inner language. See also private speech.
