unlike jean piaget, who believed development comes before learning, vygotsky believed that learning comes before development and that one must learn first to be able to develop into a functioning human being. vygotsky's theory is different from piaget's theory of cognitive development in four ways. 1. vygotsky believes culture affects cognitive development more. piaget thinks that cognitive development is the same across the world, while vygotsky has the idea that culture makes cognitive development different. 2. social factors heavily influence cognitive development under vygotsky's beliefs. environment and parents the child has will play a big role in a child's cognitive development. the child learns through the zone of proximal development with help from their parent. 3. vygotsky believes that language is important in cognitive development. while piaget considers thought as an important role, vygotsky sees thought and language as different, but eventually coming together. vygotsky emphasizes the role of inner speech being the first thing to cause cognitive development to form. 4. cognitive development is very influenced by adults. children observe adults in their life and gain knowledge about their specific culture based on things the adults around them do. they do this through mediation and scaffolding.
