Jerome Bruner

Jerome Bruner psychologist and educator, born in 1915, researched and studied Constructivist Theory.

He believed that children and adults learn by

modes or systems of representation

Enactive

movement , motor tasks such as shaking rattles, holding bottles -- stored in memory....

Iconic

pictures, visual stimulation, seeing objects--stores in memory

Symbolic

language , numbers, alphabet, words, (can be manipulated, ordered, classified) --in memory

Information is built upon already acquired knowledge--this leads to us as humans to be able to learn anything if we start off small and build upon it......http://www.simplypsychology.org/bruner.html
