✓ Correct! Well done.

Detailed Explanation
According to Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) refers to the gap between a child's ability to solve problems independently and their ability to solve problems under the guidance or collaboration of a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO). The temporary, structured support provided within this ZPD is termed as 'scaffolding'. This support is gradually withdrawn as the child's capability increases so that they can become independent.
