- 2. This index evaluates the innovation capabilities of economies based solely on the number of scientific research papers published and patent applications, and does not include indicators such as institutional quality or market maturity.
- 3. India has shown significant improvement in recent years in indicators such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services exports, domestic market size, and creative goods exports.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are completely correct?

Detailed Explanation
The Global Innovation Index (GII) is published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Statement 1 is entirely correct because Switzerland is at the top and India is at the 39th rank in the 2024 index. Statement 2 is incorrect because the GII does not assess only patents or research papers, but includes over 80 comprehensive indicators such as institutional quality, human capital, research, infrastructure, market maturity, and business sophistication. Statement 3 is correct, as India has performed excellently in areas such as ICT services and domestic market.

In the comparative context of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development and Lev Vygotsky's theory of socio-cultural development, consider the following statements: 1. Piaget believed that a child's cognitive development precedes their biological maturation and active physical exploration with the environment, while language is merely a by-product of this development. 2. According to Vygotsky, language and thought are initially two independent and separate activities, but around the age of 2 years, language and thought merge within the child, enabling the child to learn to regulate their thinking through 'inner speech'. 3. In Piaget's theory, the child is considered a 'little scientist' who constructs knowledge independently through their own efforts, while in Vygotsky's theory, social interaction and cultural tools are given central importance for the co-construction of knowledge.
