--Zone of proximal development---level of assisted performance vs. independent development IS the zone of proximal development
---form educators, what
---unassisted evaluation alone does not give accurate assessment of child (one can go further than others w. assistance
--always teach to upper end of learning—what can be learned w. assistance
---importance of instructor intervention…higher levels of symbolic play
Development not separate from its context
--diff culture development different way s of structuring logic
Language central role to mental development
--info passed generation to generation by language….language is medium …exterior and interior prompts
