Which statement is NOT part of Vygotsky's idea of the "zone of proximal development"? Development occurs differently in different cultural/geographical "zones" around the world and can be optimized when a child is young by staying in the familiar zone "proximal" to the child. If an activity is not challenging enough, it doesn't promote children's development. If an activity is too far beyond a child's current level of development, it doesn't promote his or her development. The upper limit of a zone of proximal development is the level of performance a child can reach with help from an able instructor. The lower limit of a zone of proximal development is the level of performance a child can reach while working alone.

Step 1
Vygotsky's zone of proximal development (ZPD) is the difference between what a child can do independently and what they can do with guidance from a more knowledgeable person. So, the lower limit of ZPD is the level of performance a child can reach while working Show more…
