Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vygotsky's theory emphasizes the importance of scaffolding, which refers to the level of support provided by an adult or more knowledgeable peer to help a child accomplish a task beyond their current level of competence. By providing scaffolding, adults can help children learn how to think and problem-solve more effectively. Proactive nurturance, imprinting stimuli, and parentese are not concepts associated with Vygotsky's theory.
