  • I don't know

Answer

No, Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development does not refer to physical development. It refers to the difference between what a child can do independently and what they can do with the help of an adult or more skilled peer. This zone is where learning takes place, as the child is able to take on tasks that they would not be able to do on their own.
