cog development influenced by cultural and social factors → emphasis of role of social interaction in dev of mental abilities

    • scaffolding = support structures (more skilled people) to help students master skills
  • reciprocal teaching = teachers and students take turns leading discussions using strategies like summarising and clarifying
  • mediation = learning by having concepts explained by more skilled peers
