In the context of Child Development and Pedagogy, consider the following statements regarding the key concepts of Lev Vygotsky's Socio-Cultural Theory: 1. According to Vygotsky, cognitive development is a socially mediated process in which children construct knowledge through interaction with more knowledgeable others (MKOs) of their culture, such as parents, teachers, or peers. 2. The 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) is the gap between the actual developmental level and the potential developmental level, measured between problems solved independently by the child and those solved under the guidance of an adult or capable peer. 3. 'Scaffolding' is a term given by Vygotsky whereby the temporary and flexible support given to the learner in the initial stages of the learning process is gradually reduced as their proficiency increases. 4. Vygotsky believed that children's 'private speech' merely reflects their egocentric behavior and has no relation to their cognitive development, self-regulation, or problem-solving ability.
