Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vygotsky's work was largely inaccessible to the Western world until it was translated into English, which began in earnest in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This delay was due to a combination of political and academic factors, including the Cold War and the dominance of other theories of cognitive development, such as those proposed by Piaget.
