Vygotsky's sociocultural theory emphasizes that children learn through social interaction that include collaborative and cooperative dialogue with someone who is more skilled in tasks they're trying to learn. Vygotsky's definition of ZPD presents it as the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers (L.S.

Within the sociocultural theory , Vygotsky developed the zone of proximal development. It is through this process that cognitive development happens via learning rather than something that must happen prior to the learning process. The creative process can be understood as a collective one that recombines and extends on pre-existing discoveries: When we consider the phenomenon of collective creativity, which combines all these drops of individual creativity that frequently are insignificant in themselves, we readily understand what an enormous percentage of what has been created by humanity is a product of the anonymous collective creative work of unknown inventors (Vygotsky, 1930:5).
