A variety of theories have been proposed to explain the pattern of cognitive development observed in children. PIAGET'S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTThe Evolution of Piaget's ThinkingBeginning in the early 1960s, Piaget's theory began to replace behaviorism in America. Unlike behaviorism, this theory was seen as truly developmental because it allowed for the different capacities of children of different ages.
Vygotsky's theory is complementary to Bandura's work on social learning and a key component of situated learning theory as well. Because Vygotsky's focus was on cognitive development, it is interesting to compare his views with those a constructivist (Bruner) and a genetic epistemologist (Piaget).p57). A second aspect of Vygotsky's theory is the idea that the potential for cognitive development depends upon the zone of proximal development (ZPD): a level of development attained when children engage in social behavior. Full development of the ZPD depends upon full social interaction.
