Lev Vygotsky developed the socio-cultural theory of cognitive development which asserts that social interaction plays a key role in children's cognitive growth. According to Vygotsky, language and social learning precede development, and through interactions with more skilled individuals children can develop skills they cannot yet master alone. Vygotsky emphasized the zone of proximal development and scaffolding, where guidance from others allows children to solve problems beyond their independent ability. As children's skills grow, the support or scaffolding is gradually removed.
