Developmental Homework #1

As we will see today in class, many theories examine the same idea, but approach the idea in different manners. While Vygotsky's theory of the mind and Piaget's theory of cognitive development both contributed to the field of cognitive psychology, they were very different. Your assignment is to compare and contrast Piaget's theory of cognitive development and Vygotsky's theory of the mind and zone of proximal development. This is due prior to class on Thursday as a comment on this post. I look forward to reading your answers.

Also, read pages 415-426 up to social development.
