Answer

The answer is scaffolding.

Explanation
Option 1: Mentoring

Mentoring involves a more experienced individual guiding a less experienced one, but it is not the specific term Vygotsky used for the assistance provided to children.

Option 2: Successive Approximations

Successive approximations refer to a method in behaviorist learning theory where behaviors are gradually shaped by reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the desired behavior. This is not the term Vygotsky used.

Option 3: Scripting

Scripting involves providing a structured outline or script for behavior or actions, but it is not the term Vygotsky used for the assistance provided to children.

Option 4: Scaffolding

Scaffolding is the term Vygotsky used to describe the support and assistance provided by others that helps a child learn and develop new skills. This support is gradually removed as the child becomes more competent.
