Document Summary
Ontogenetic development: development of the individual over his/her lifetime. Microgenetic development: changes that occur over relatively brief periods of time such as the changes one may see in a kid solving addition problems every week. Phylogenetic development: changes over evolutionary time (thousands, millions of years) Sociohistorical development: the changes that have occurred in ones culture and the values, norms, technologies that such history has generated. Tools of intellectual adaptation: methods of thinking and problem solving that kids internalize from their interactions with more competent members of society and that permit kids to use their basic mental functions more adaptively. General genetic law of cultural development: the idea that cognition occurs on 2 places, first the social, between individuals and later the psychological, as its internalized by the child. Zone of proximal development: difference between a childs actual developmental level and potential development under the guidance of an adult or peer.
