Russian Psychologist Lev. S. Vygotsky is the most associated theorist with sociocultural perspective.

He was the father of sociocultural thinking.

He began his work on this after the Russian revolution of 1917. His arguments was that: "The social dimension of consciousness is primary and in time and in fact", And ""the human dimension of consciousness is derivative and secondary"

His preoccupation was how high mental order process was able to supersede in the population when behaviourist dominated psychology.

He believed that children will be supported to learn new skills that will be useful for them to learn and survive in their new culture
