“Cognitive development is the development of the mind – the part of the brain that is used for recognizing, reasoning, knowing and understanding” Many specialists have studied this area of development over the years, including, Piaget, Bruner, Vygotsky and Skinner. There are also approaches to cognitive development which are based on comparing the human mind to a computer, rather than being based on the ideas a single theorist.

Paper written as a contribution to the Ars Electronica symposium on Cloud Intelligence . Let's take as a starting point the discussion of 'cloud intelligence' on the conference website: In the cloud of connections, we each become social neurons, mimicking the biological human brain but on a giant scale. This collective knowledge is far beyond anything a single search engine could index and archive. Intelligence is spreading everywhere, every minute, and cloud computing can draw new links acAt the i3 conference that is taking place at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, Louise Limberg is today's keynote speaker.

I have great respect for his studies and found his Mind And Society an absorbing read. One of the precious ideas he brought to us is what he called the Zone Of Proximal Development. I was reminded of this recently when reading Laurie Bartel’s post, Lev Vygotsky & ZPD , where she called for elaboration or clarification of ZPD. Vygotsky had an interest in scaffolding, particularly in relation to learner development inTo answer how teachers, parents and peers can jointly contribute to students' learning, we must first grapple with the intrinsic network relationship between the three factors, relating them to student's learning; then understand the roles each of the three individual components play; and finally evaluate the extent of the effects/contributions by the three factors on individual scale, as there are differing degree to the extent of effects/contributions, and eventually the overall scale.
