 * Theory of mind; Information Process- language, cognitive ablility, make -believe play, social interactions are similiar.
 * Vygotsky agreed with Piaget that children are active and constructive beings.
 * Information processing is similar to Piaget's theory because Piaget has stages that go from simple to comlpex (they build upon one another) and information processing does the same with the senses, turning them into a behavioral response at output, the information gets actively transformed and organized.
 * Like Pieget's theory, the information processing approach regards children as sense-making beings who modify their own thinking in response to environmental demands.

 * Both Piaget and the Information Processing Theory both believe in organization of thoughts in order to have a stronger cognitive development.
