According to Lev Vygotsky –
A.language plays an important role in cognitive development of children.✓ Correct
B.children learn language through a 'language acquisition device'.
C.children's cognitive development occurs in stages.
D.maturation of schemas leads to cognitive development in children.
Explanation
Vygotsky emphasized the central role of language in cognitive development, arguing that language is a tool for thought and social interaction. The 'language acquisition device' (LAD) is Chomsky's concept, not Vygotsky's. Stage-based cognitive development is associated with Piaget, not Vygotsky. The maturation of schemas is also a Piagetian concept. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory highlights how social interaction and language shape cognition.
