Children learn to advance their cognition and informal scaffolding by  through, talking, listening, reading, and writing (Berger, p. 243). Social mediation is social interaction that broadens a child's understanding. According to Vygotsky and empirical research words allow children to count with one-to-one correspondence, remember accurately, and verbalize standard experiences. Scaffolding is the process of children copying parents or caregivers. Over imitation is the result of a child copying actions of irrelevance.
