Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
According to Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, a child's cognitive development is guided by social interaction and the use of 'cultural tools' such as language, writing, and symbols.
External social activities and language are gradually transformed at the mental level, a process known as Internalization. This exact mechanism converts lower-level mental capacities into higher mental functions.
- Cultural Tools: Mediate higher cognitive functions through societal artifacts.
- Internalization: The transition from interpsychological (social) to intrapsychological (individual) functioning.
