title: Are neo-Piagetian and neo-Vygotskian interpretations of potential for learning complementary?
abstract: According to Pascual-Leone, potential for learning in the neo-Piagetian framework complements the neo-Vygotskian framework for assessment of learning potential, a manifestation of the child's zone of proximal development. Data obtained in a 1998 study by Niaz and Caraucan with three groups of children (7- to 10-yr.-olds, N=94) are reinterpreted as showing the two interpretations are complementary.
