A newer theory which holds that developmental results for the dynamic interaction of each person with the surrounding social and cultural forces.

Apprenticeship in thinking

Vygotsky’s term for how cognition is stimulated and developed in people by more skilled members of society.

He process by which living creatures including people adjust to their environment.
