The major emphasis of the cognitive perspective leans towards the study of cognitive function as the name suggests or in other words, the study of mental processes inclusive of but not limited to; attention, memory, language, perception and thinking.

He stated that children learn only when they are left alone to solve hard problems, after getting few direct instructions from more experienced adults or other knowledgeable children. I believe this to be the best theory for childhood cognition development because of the experiences I have faced and the actions, of people, I have seen throughout my life. Vygotsky’s theory acknowledged that when child has mastered the instructions, the guider must back off in order for that child to learn to take responsibility of solving that problem on their own. He believed…
