Briefly describe criticism of Vygotsky's theories
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Critics point to the lack of precision in his conceptualization of cognitive growth, such as the zone of proximal development. Vygotsky's theories do not lend themselves to experimental tests. Vygotsky did not provide information regarding how basic cognitive processes such as attention and memory unfold in children, and he did not focus on how individual bits of information are processed and synthesized.
