Analyze Vygotsky's developmental model

Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of cognitive development views cognitive growth as a continuous, gradual process mediated by social interaction and cultural tools, rather than a series of distinct, qualitative stages.

Compare with stage theories

In contrast to stage theorists like Jean Piaget, who proposed discrete, sequential stages of development, Vygotsky did not outline specific developmental stages.

Determine truth value

Since Vygotsky's theory is a continuous (non-stage) theory of development, the statement is false.
