Question

question 13 0.2 pts one important lesson helping professionals can take from piaget’s and vygotsky’s work is that
○ understanding how young clients think can help in structuring interventions that build effectively on existing knowledge and meanings.
○ language learning is not necessary for children to make progress in problem solving.
○ children must be expected to make independent progress, and not be supported by adults in every task.
○ stages of cognitive development proceed regularly, and are not altered by individual experiences.

Explanation:

• Piaget's theory focuses on cognitive development stages and how children construct knowledge, while Vygotsky emphasized the role of social interaction and the zone of proximal development. Both highlight the importance of understanding children's thinking to tailor interventions.
• The second option is incorrect as Vygotsky stressed the role of language in cognitive development.
• The third option goes against Vygotsky's idea of scaffolding (adult support in learning).
• The fourth option is wrong because both theorists recognized that experiences can influence development (e.g., Vygotsky's social experiences, Piaget's assimilation/accommodation based on experiences). So the correct option is the first one.

Answer:

A. understanding how young clients think can help in structuring interventions that build effectively on existing knowledge and meanings.
