Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky’s social development theory asserts that a child’s cognitive development and learning ability can be guided and mediated by their social interactions. His theory (also called Vygotsky’s Sociocultural theory) states that learning is a crucially social process as opposed to an independent journey of discovery.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vygotsky concluded that child development was a complex dialectical process between the child and the social environment. The social environment supports the child’s development, so that what a child can do in collaboration now, she or he will be able to do independently later.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sociocultural Theory Lev Vygotsky also suggested that human development results from a dynamic interaction between individuals and society. Through this interaction, children learn gradually and continuously from parents and teachers. However, this learning varies from one culture to the next.

Detailed explanation-4: -As such, Vygotsky outlined three main concepts related to cognitive development: (i) culture is significant in learning, (ii) language is the root of culture, and (iii) individuals learn and develop within their role in the community.
