Piaget - places emphasis on both nature and nurture: adaptive processes and maturation of brain and body (nature) combined with children responding to the demands of the environment in ways that meet their own goals (nurture)
Vygotsky - places emphasis on both nature and nurture: believed heredity (nature) and dialogues with more expert members of society (nurture) contribute jointly to development.
Vygotsky also agreed with Piaget about the basics:
- Children's reasoning abilities develop in sequence (through age)
- Knowledge is contructed from interaction with the environment.
