What is the difference between the theories of Jerome Bruner and Jean Piaget?

Jerome Bruner focused on the importance of cultural influences and social interactions in cognitive development, emphasizing the role of language and storytelling. Jean Piaget, on the other hand, is known for his theory of cognitive development, which describes how children actively construct their understanding of the world through assimilation and accommodation.
