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: -This is called internalization, where social activities evolve into internal mental activities. Another assumption of Vygotsky is self talk, when thought and language emerge and children talk to themselves out loud. This process later turns into inner speech.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vygotsky’s theory (1962) proposes that the child’s development is best understood in relation to social and cultural experience. Social interaction, in particular, is seen as a critical force in development.
Detailed explanation-4: -Vygotsky scaffolding, commonly referred to as scaffolding, is a process used in the classroom in which a teacher or capable student helps a student within their ZPD.
