Vygotsky's Theory of Cognitive Development in Social Relationships
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.พ. 2020
- Vygotsky’s Theory of Social Development argues that community and language play a central part in learning. Vygotsky believed that children develop independently of specific stages as a result of social interactions.

4 Elementary Mental functions
MAPS: Memory, Attention, Perception, Sensation
I've just started a Psychology course in University as a mature student. I'm also a stay-at-home mum with 2 kids and psychology has always fascinated me. I really appreciate these video's. I just watched the Piaget one also. I'm finding them extremely helpful and just want to express my deep gratitude to the work you've put into them and for sharing them. My only reservation with the Vygotsky theory is that sometimes with my kids I feel like I am denying them the learnings of developing a new skill or task by showing them how to do it. Sometimes I like them to figure things out for themselves, obviously within reason (once they are safe and not distressed). And also the assumption that I am the MKO. I have learned so much from my kids. Often, leaving them work something out for themselves they end up teaching me a new way as they are approaching challenges with a beginners mind. With a deep bow of gratitude - Sarah-Jane
You are amazing! i wish you the best luck! sorry for my poor english
This is a really good point Sarah, Children do also need to acquire the skills to work things out for them selves. 👍🏼
@@BOMCHICKAWAHWAH2 That's where Piaget comes in 😊
I agree with you. Been teacher it's always important for the children to explore on their own using their senses. Give them chance to share their ideas and to use the imagination. Looking at the two theories both are important.
LISTEN to those feelings! Because often you ARE! More often than not, ESPECIALLY with young kids, what you learn from the PROCESS of learning is far more valuable than the actual material you learn.
The most important learning of all, is learning how to THINK and how to LEARN FOR YOURSELF.
It is a very useful concept for teachers and parents.... especially for parents who think their children are not smart enough according to there age.. those children just need some care and attention
Their***
IMHO natural curiosity plus ACCESS TO GOOD MATERIALS is all that's really needed.
My experience was that schools were there to babysit the kids, not to teach. The more you already knew, the more of a "problem" you were ("what do I DO with him!" etc) It wasn't about learning, it was about keeping the kids busy whether what they were busy at was doing them any good or boring them to tears. The most important thing of all was that they all be treated as identical units and all be doing the same thing at the same time.
ALL of kids' natural instincts DRIVE them to LEARN. For those that don't have physiological problems, when they don't it's always that adults are getting in the way of the process even if (sometimes especially if!) they are trying to help.
It's the SCHOOLS that are so screwed up, not the kids!
their
Isn't it that this theory is putting more emphasis on parents to improve the environment for their children, so that the children can develop better?
Can anyone explain how smartphones can impact children cognitive development
I'm here because of the online class:)
Same, our professor forced us to watch this😢
haha lol. i'm here 'cause i am an english teacher and i need to refresh my knowledges.
@@mariarobleto7767 😆
same here😂😂😂
I’m not lol
I always appreciate the discussion time during the lectures at my college because there I got the feeling of achieving a greater appropriation of what we are thinking. Conversations with others help a person to make ideas clear and led them to expand the concept.
There so much theory, models and concepts for learning and raising your kids, that are very important.
But for some reason most parents,teacher,authority dont use it in practice.
I propose/remind the soon to be parents to carefully read at least 1 (more would be better) good book about raising children.
After reading do not forget to think about it and plan to implement it.
Absolutely love this, You guys helped me significantly in my study, appreciate your works
this is the song that plays when you make pizza on Club Penguin
omfggggggggg
turning me into an Italian as i learn PSYCH 101
I couldn't concentrate on anything because I was trying to figure out where I knew the song from lmfao
Now I can actually study!
Great. I was studying these cognitive development theories by reading study materials and was really falling asleep. But as soon as I started to watch your cartoons I realy got awaikend. I beleive this is a great way to present knowledge. Respect!

I am brazilian and your videos are very helpful for me cause the way wich you pronnounce the words are easy to me understand and learn english. Thank you guys
When we interact with others, we achieve greater appropriation of what we are thinking, and by receiving feedback from our interlocutor we expand our knowledge and points of view about our object of interest.
That's why The scaffolding process from teachers to students, is definitive to achieve useful learning for them in real life.
Our interlocutor might be able to put into words a concept that we may have been thinking however unable to express through language thus establishing a stronger definition of said mental concept. Now, given new information, we can then communicate our ideas better. Great for solving mental problems we may be stuck on working out.
Love these videos, simple, clear and easy to make sense of.
Commenting is also social learning interaction where I am experiencing the video and get output from my understanding.
Social interaction is the natural learning that every child needs to learn. It is an independent source where many elements they can experience with internal and external development. For motor development is also encouraging by social interaction and self experimenting.
Thanks a lot
Great job!
This really helped me with a presentation about Vygotsky and his theories!
Thankyou! This is a big help to my activity in school 😊💗
Both learning by interest and with the help of more knowledgable other are important because learning if not made interesting and challengable becomes boring and makes us give up!
I believe that we can benefit from both styles of learning and teaching. Children certainly can learn from social and cultural context, but also with the assistance of a more knowledgeable other. Some children require the assistance of others while some do not. Having a perfect mix of both styles can benefit both types of children.
yes, most people who study educational psychology agree that all views on knowledge have pros/cons and you should use a mixture of them. Also, that teachers have to adapt to every classroom and individual
@Zainab Waheed Technology can be scaffolding for people like me studying from home.
The original "One room schoolhouse" made maximum use of pure mentoring
Because there was only one teach er and many pupils at all levels , The basic approach was to have older kids help younger kids with any problems and if the older kid couldn't help them then you moved up to the next older kid.
It's not only made far more efficient of the teacher, it greatly improved the depth and quality of the education. When you have to help someone with their understanding of a subject, it inevitably improves your own understanding of the subject
When you're a child you learn because you want to discover everything but also I think that the feed back plays a more important role, kinda every child is super curious and very smart, the development then highly depends on the feedback.
Very very interesting I really learned something in this I think you should make more videos like that love it
This is a great video! Thank you so much for your sharing!
It is a combination of both. While each of these critical cognitive processes are normally developed at a certain age period, they are affected by social interactions either speeding up, slowing down, or even halting these developments during each stage of our lives. with this comes an almost predictable domino effect based on their development accompanied by social interactions at a very young age. it is not the student, but the teacher(s) that have a heavily weighted effect on each individual and the teacher happens to be each person we interact with.
thank you for simplify this information/theory, it would have taken an hour in class for them to go through this
THANK YOU. this helped my essay on another level.
I’m here because my Child and adolescence development class ❤️.
Thank you soo much for this simple explanation ❤️
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
"Learning occurs in a social environment outside of your comfort zone" Oh boy...
oh boy oh boy
The Zone of proximal development is not the comfort zone. The comfort zone refers to a place of familiarity and... comfort. The ZPD is a enviroment where someone can be taught.
Introverts nightmare
@@marlynnieves1416 Not at all. I am an introvert, but I thrive, intellectually, upon discourse with others. Exchanging ideas, in fact, is one of my favorite ways to learn new concepts. Introverts are often mistakenly attributed the traits of someone with social anxiety; many people think that introverts hate being around others. While some introverts are shy, and indeed I was and still can be, introverts do not, by definition, dislike being around other people. Rather it is a matter of where we get our energy from. Unlike extroverts, who thrive and get a a charge from being around others- the more the merrier- introverts can deal with others, even with large groups, but need alone time to recharge, as gatherings tend to drain us of our energy. (PS I am a psychology major.)
@@GothicElf68 I think because so many people with social anxiety have coopted the term and insist that they fan’s talk on the phone because, “I’m an introvert.”
It’s a combo of both theories
I think the more knowledge other's role is to guide and where the child is not sure of the knowledge gain not to determine what the child must learn
I had this doubt all the while raising my kid. Tq. Very good info
Started reading Thought and Language by Vygostky, and this video is a really good background knowledge builder.

Thanks....loved it😍
Hello. Is it possible to add a literature list, so I can check the original works of the particular theories you explain? There's a lot to choose from when it comes to Vygotsky's work. Thank you!
We must understand that kids have more abilities than we think. Environment, respect, letting them share and express their ideas are the tools to mentor the students
but they are not grown adults- their development is not complete. Also many grown adults are not mentally and emotionally developed as they might be expected to be for their age. This can happen for any number of reasons.
Would you ask a child if they would like to drink alcohol? Would you ask an adult alcoholic the same question?
@@annaworthington9522 Somewhere out there a teen grew up with an alcoholic parent and chose to not drink from the experience of growing up in that situation.
Beautiful!

A knowledgable elder always has the role of a guide in the mental development of a child . So the Environment, language, location , Society, Sorrounding , Economic conditions play a major role in the development of a child. The Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation also has a greater role to play.
Learning without assistance develops other qualities like the ability to solve problems without help or thinking outside of the box.
Yes, good thought!
It will develop more imagination too
That's how you be creative.
where can you learn without "assistance"
@@brandonlangfeldt9809 If you had never seen a Rubik's Cube and I handed you one and then walked away, you would learn how to manipulate it. You might not immediately solve it but you would learn something about it.
Thank you I asked for this video
Wonderful!
This is a fascinating theory. I do agree with Vygotsky, although, In my opinion, I believe The Zone of Proximal Developmental would be much more effective with Piaget's theory of cognitive development taken into consideration. As a Child's cognitive ability further develops, they will be able to apprehend more complex teachings from the "more knowledgable other". I believe that both Vygotsky's and Piaget's theory coincide perfectly and should both be put into practice simultaneously.
Good point!
Excellent point 👌
There is A LOT of works that is not translated into english. We (in Russia) could even develop deaf - blind children, but there is no use of it because of politicians. Our scientists seriously developed his theory, but again, thx to Vladimir Putin and his friends we cant properly cooperate with our foreign colleagues from 2014.
They are...to an extent. The part you're missing is Piaget is widely criticized for (among several other things) his stages applying largely to Western cultures and traditional upbringings. They, though relatively applicable to everyone, are not universal to all. Vygotsky's theory takes into consideration different cultures 'and' upbringings, and thus includes a broader explanation for why we turn out the way we do
So, both are applied, but Piaget's is more like a specific framework for Western cultures within Vygotsky's greater theory. If Vygotsky and Piaget had access to all the research we've done since their deaths, they would no doubt agree.
So beneficial for us ! Thank youu
Wow this was amazing. You explained it so well provoke me to think on my own. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
When i was a kid, i was able to walk at 9 months old! Pretty early for most kids....but i was never the brightest in class not got some honours at school! I was not so good in language and words but i was very intelligent in numbers and abstract! I don't know if it has something to do with it???
After observing my little brother(1year) and my friends little sister(7months) and putting them through some small experiments we noticed that physical change happen fatser than phycological change for example
We gave them both a toy to bite on with deffrent biting time my friend's sister developef a stronger bite although she is youngr also she can understand that she is doing good or bad after the reward unlike my brother whom is still confused about the reward after the biting task .
Great content!

thank that wasso helpful , this video that I was looking for
Very helpful 😊
i really enjoyed watching this video and definitely agree with Vygotsky's Theory.
This is soo true.
Here in Pakistan, normally people(especially females) are not skillful. Because society doesn't expect anything from them.
Even in my country's top Engineering University, students' learning capabilities are hampered due to their presumptions about themselves.
Also, our teachers don't expect anything more than average from us.
All we need is proper guidance and GOOD teachers.
Thank you so much

Great video! Thank you 💕
Welcome
I learned how to read thru an entirely subconscious process. Each week I could by three comic books with my allowance and I allowed my two years older brother to choose one of the ones I bought in return for him reading all six to me out loud. I was not consciously paying any attention to the text, only following the action in the graphics. It undoubtedly helped that many of the balloons only contained single words and I did know that one string of letters corresponded to one word. I never tried to follow the text. One day I tried to turn the page before he was finished reading and I realized I didn't need him any more. I always when tested had an extremely high reading speed and suspect that's because I learned to read without ever myself trying to sound out the words.
I spent the summer before first grade in a summer kindergarten and somehow got mixed in with kids two years older. I was too small to get a share of the toys but there was a cabinet full of workbooks for reading, arithmetic etc. With no help from anyone at all, just by knowing how to read I went thru many of them and by the end of the summer was at 3'rd or forth grade level and far above that in math ALL without any help whatsoever other than the workbooks themselves.
Everything that teachers thought they were "teaching" me was always something I already knew and they would get exceedingly upset when they discovered that I wasn't just being "difficult", and actually really did already know it.
MOST people may learn most things by interacting with others (whether adults or peers) but it is not remotely the ONLY way to learn.
SOME kids learn IN SPITE OF what adults are doing instead of because of it.
I don't know whether it's a result of the way I did this early learning or the driving force behind me doing it, but I have always been a completely independent thinker. (this was a major problem growing up in the deep South where so much of what adults did and thought was very obviously WRONG.)
Any person who thinks that even very small children can only learn from others has, at the very least, very poor observational skills.
The more I was left alone, the faster I learned.
Have you had you IQ tested?
IQ tests are very crude measure and really the questions are only correlated with rather than directly related to actual intelligence. In addition they can be affected by many things other than intelligence - for example many questions in the past had strong cultural bias and discriminated against social groups that had not had prior exposure to the background.
In addition tests are directed at intended groups who scores were expected to be within a certain range. It would be very few questions of so difficult that no one inside of that range could answer it. Consequently The score received by all questions correctly (or nearly all because everyone makes occasional errors just to the carelessness - especially those who are being excruciatingly bored by the entire procedure) only indicates The lowest potential value of actual ability.
I was tested in the first grade because I was so disruptive and uncooperative that they decided that maybe the problem might be just mental disability. It started when we were handed the paper to fill out of"math" problems with sets of graphics instead of numbers! They were separated by plus and minus signs followed by an equal sign and we were supposed to DRAW The correct number of figures after the equal sign. I had already taught myself addition, subtraction division multiplication and calculation of square roots and cube roots in kindergarten! The room was used for 6th grade and above math classes during the year and they were workbooks and cabinets on the wall. I found the workbooks far more interesting than the toys - I had toys at home but nothing remotely like the workbooks.
So this"math" worksheet was SO insulting and crashingly boring. So instead of drawing out all the individual figures as who were supposed to I would put one lollipop or square or triangle or whatever and the number that represented the correct answer.
I thought the teacher would be pleased to see that I already knew the material.
Instead she was very upset and angry because I was not "following the material" and made me redo it " correctly" I drawing out the correct number of individual figures.
I was in a real hurry to get outside and it was SO mindlessly and gratuitously repetitive. So I just dashed it all off as fast as I could with really really sloppy triangle squares and whatever's.
She got very angry about that and insisted that I do it all again very very neatly
After that I pretty much lost it and started doing everything as rapidly as physically possible and very sloppily as an expression of my extreme anger at the whole procedure.
It was after that that they decided, in part because my writing was so sloppy, that I must have mental problems and so they had me tested.
At the end of it I asked the tester what I had scored
And what I later realized was an exceedingly rare display of honesty instead of rattling off a figure he stated that he didn't really know because I hadn't missed any questions and he'd only brought up to the fifth grade level with him. He said he'd come back with a higher level test. But he didn't because my school had a policy against jump promotions because they "hurt social development" so what would have been the point?
That was before Sputnik. I was ENORMOUSLY grateful to the Soviet Union when that happened because suddenly schools became interested in actually helping kids like me instead of treating them like problems. Unfortunately I was sidetracked from all that for socioeconomic political reasons
I never found anywhere in the United States that valued actual intelligence so much that they were willing to disregard The usual screening for political acceptability
Taking down the Confederate flag from in front of your all white boarding high school in Birmingham while Bull Connor was turning fire hoses and police dogs on non-violent demonstrators pretty much killed off educational prospects.
Decades later listing Rachel Carson and Rosa Parks as your heroes on an"interest" sheet that was, of course a honey pot, killed off your first attempt at a science degree. A decade after that asking a question that revealed grossly inadequate safety betting of a poster child biotech product being presented on a day that was ostensibly for Open discussion of safety concerns got all your course work for the entire semester regraded and downgraded two letter grades, and access to co-ops removed. (This is one of the major reasons why industry so consistently turns out"solutions" that only exacerbate or add new problems)
Sorry for the rant. I think you hit a sore point somewhere
Children’s ability to learn in different social environments differ. I have four functioning girls and one of them doesn’t have social skills. She is social awkward and her sense of reality is much different from her sisters’ even though they all grew up in the same home with the same parents. I believe the difference in their personalities also plays a part in how they respond to their environment too. Not everyone learns through interactions with others.
Conversations with others may be okay, but I think I can get essentially the same experience from writing things out. Another thought: I never became social to the point that I enjoy talking with more than one or two particular people that I really trust. Other people tend to cause me to feel awkward and self-conscious, so talking with them doesn't achieve much of anything for me.
I do however agree that the early expectations of others regarding your potential are incredibly influential. For instance my dad didn't believe that girls should use tools and didn't allow me to learn about them (or maybe he was just trying to keep everyone out of his shop so he could keep drinking there...). I never really learned to use tools or related subject matter, which really pisses me off to this very day.
I don't know but I'm trying.
Great video and the cartoons are a great visual. 1. We do learn through Social and cultural contexts eg a child in Kenya will learn Kiswahili as opposed to one in Spain who will learn Spanish as first language. They will also interact with different environments , for example one may be exposed to technology and gadgets while the other will be rich in exposure to flora and fauna. however both of them must develop cognitive skills that allow them to interact with culture and society.
2. To a great extend the more knowledgeable other has a role in determining what a child should learn. If it is a teacher, she/he is the one more knowledgeable in curriculum requirements and standards not known to the child. The teacher will also ensure that what the child learns is wholesome and balanced to develop multiple skills in the child. However the teacher should let the child explore further if they are so inclined and provide resources for the child to extent themselves further. The teacher should not load their own bias or limitations onto the child. For parents and older siblings, they are aware of for example the cultural norms, values, traditions which the child may not be aware of. Therefore as the more knowledgeable others, they should guide the child's learning as well as provide scaffolding as the child gradually gains independence.
Very well explained. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Is possible through Vygotsky theory . Great experience given by Sprouts
Your videos are informative; however, I wish the representation in the illustrations was more diverse so I felt comfortable sharing them in my classes.
Good work.
Thank you Kanye, very cool!
I'm here because it is one of our topic in my Course
Got an exam tomorrow, but couldn't study so decided to listen to this 😂
Indeed we all learn from our environment. Children mimic what they see their peers or adults do and this is mainly how they learn. So yes, the environment plays a big part in how children learn. setting up the environment and allowing children to explore is a wonder to watch...my god-daughter using a block as a cellphone. If she never saw someone using a cellphone I don't think a memory would be there for her to recall and know that this block looks like the cellphone she sees us using. Children need us to help them in scaffolding their world.
I'm just entering the formal world of teaching and learning the different concepts is quite interesting. Your feedback on my thoughts is welcomed.
yiee nagcacram ngayon yung gumagawa ng learning task sa Understanding the Self
I would say that Jean Piaget was correct in his theory of stages (linked to physiological growth). But also that Lev Vygotsky was correct in asserting that a persons environment affects the possibilities of maximal growth. Physiology provides the tools to grow and ones environment provides the space to grow.
Like the boy and girl in this video,
I can connect this to the caste system in India..
If someone speaks against reservations in India..
I would recommend this video for them..

great videos!!!!!
I'm not sure what learning only in social and cultural contexts has to do with the appropriateness of deciding what a child learns next (end of video question) but this has been decided for children for ages. C.S. Lewis provides a great criticism for it in "The Abolition of Man" which also criticizes some of the perspectives of Piaget that limit information right out of the gate.
thank you so much
Very helpful
So Piaget and Vygotsky are certainly both right, it's just a portion of the truth we are gradually realizing.
I recall feeling frustrated because when I spoke it didn’t make sense like when other people spoke. This was a very early memory. I definitely had a coherent thought life long before I could hold a conversation. When learning a language I understand a lot compared to my capacity to contribute to a conversation.
Anyone know what that music in the background is?
Nice video. People learn with the time.
I'm a bit ambivalent about "knowledgable others" deciding what a child should learn next because it limits free thinking and free will in a sense. But at the same time, the Zone of Proximal Development is probably wiser in identifying a child's strengths or weakness than the child themself at that age. One question I have is, what's the difference between learning and development? Is development in the context of Vygotsky's theory referring to age and bodily changes?
thanks
My professor in college called some kids "garbage pail kids." Instead of needing cues and stimulation, these kids could be put into a garbage pail and still learn. I have had several of these kids over the years. They are gifted. For the rest of the class, they need that mentor (teacher) to help them grow and learn.
Vygotsky did a lot in his 37 years. Too bad that he never hit Erikson's Stage of Generativity vs. Stagnation.
You tell em Ms. McGraw👍
The theory seems to me to make excellent sense.
I think that both men were right! learning can proceed development, but socialization is needed as well.
So, if parents or teachers preparing things for the child to do activity can it says Scaffolding also ?
Thanks
