His mother, Nicole, joins him when he plays with his blocks, making suggestions, such as placing the second block right in line with the first block, and even demonstrating how the blocks work best with her own smaller version of a 3-block tower. As she sees his skills improve with this toy, Nicole steps back and lets him try on his own.
· Using Vygotsky’s theory, explain how Nicole is supporting David’s cognitive development.
