Question

Daniel Hoeksema · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The scenario describes the concept of the zone of proximal development, which is the difference between what a child can do alone and what they can do with assistance. The help provided by the skilled person is called scaffolding, which supports the child's learning and development within their zone of proximal development. The other options (A and C) are related to Piaget's theory of cognitive development and are not applicable in this scenario. Option D is close, but it should be zone of scaffolding instead of just zone of scaffolding.
