Letâs get into an AP psychology review of this perspective to help you better understand whatâs going to be on your exam. The social-cultural perspective was founded by Lev Vygotsky, a Russian psychologist. Also known as the sociocultural perspective, this theory emphasized how a child would grow to become an adult and come to develop thoughts, behaviors and beliefs. Vygotsky felt that children were born with different beliefs in their minds.
In other words, social learning tends to precede (i.e., come before) development. Vygotsky has developed a sociocultural approach to cognitive development. He developed his theories at around the same time as Jean Piaget was starting to develop his ideas (1920's and 30's), but he died at the age of 38, and so his theories are incomplete - although some of his writings are still being translated from Russian.
