Abstract
According to Pascual-Leone, potential for learning in the neo-Piagetian fra mework complements the neo-Vygotskian framework for assessment of learning potential, a manifestation of the child's zone of proximal development. Dat a obtained in a 1998 study by Niaz and Caraucan, with three groups of child ren (7- to 10-yr.olds, N = 94) are reinterpreted as showing the two interpr etations are complementary.
