It is true that while Piaget searched for universal patterns in children's cognitive development, Vygotsky emphasized the influence of culture on children's thinking.
Jean Piaget (1896-1980) was a psychologist considered the father of genetic epistemology. He stood out for his contributions to the study of childhood and for his cognitive constructivist theory of intelligence development, based on an evolutionary proposal of interaction between the subject and object.
Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) was a Russian psychologist who stood out for developing a broad theory focused on developmental psychology, founder of cultural-historical psychology.
For Piaget, the child's interaction with the physical environment is more important, while for Vygotsky, the child's social interaction is more decisive in their cognitive development. Additionally, Vygotsky gives greater importance to the social and cultural context.
Additionally, Jean Piaget understands development as an internal and individual process. Vygotsky understands it as a social process. Therefore, for Piaget cognitive progress goes from the individual to the social and for Vygotsky from the social to the individual.
According to the above, it can be established that it is true that while Piaget searched for universal patterns in children's cognitive development, Vygotsky emphasized the influence of culture on children's thinking.
