Piaget believes that only it would start to have human development when it had biological maturity in the being. According to Piaget, the internal factors preponder on the external factors. Vygostky claimed that the human development depends on the social environment where the being coexists. If the environment where the being coexists to vary, its development also will vary 2. How much to the paper of the learning and Piaget development it claims that the same one if subordinates to the development, that is, the learning is function of the development.

The more developed, more the man learns. Vygostky says that learning and development if influence reciprocal. It has a narrow cycle between these two factors. 3. Relation between language and thought.

As Piaget the thought appears before the language. The language would be only one of the expression of the thought. The thought does not depend on the language. ' ' The formation of the thought it depends, basically, of the coordination of the projects sensorimotores and not of linguagem' '. For Vygostky the language and thought are interdependent. They appear together if complementing. 4. The paper of the language in the development. For Piaget the language depends on the mental development. The language occurs with the development of the cognitivo thought, that is, with the development of the mental processes. Vygostky claims that as the language and the thought appears together, the language helps to develop the mental processes. Causing developed thoughts more. The language develops the mental processes.
