Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) was a key construct in Lev Vygotsky’s theory of learning and development. The Zone of Proximal Development is defined as the space between what a learner can do without assistance and what a learner can do with adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Concerning play and the zone of proximal development, Vygotsky (1978) wrote that. play creates a zone of proximal development of the child. In play a child always behaves beyond. his average age, above his daily behaviour; in play it is as though he were a head taller than. himself.
Detailed explanation-4: -Essentially, scaffolding is the help/support that takes place in the zone of proximal development. As the child begins to learn and master the skill, the support provided by the teacher decreases until eventually the child can begin to do the task on their own.
