The results showed that the value and need the poor and rich children associated with coins caused them to significantly overestimate the size of the coins, especially when compared to their more accurate estimations of the same size disks. 2078mahear https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355513456 2019-04-30 16:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355513456 2) Another study of Bruner's revealed slower reaction times and less accurate answers when using a deck of cards. The deck of cards had the signs on each card switched (red spades, black hearts). 2078mahear https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355516029 2019-04-30 16:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355516029 3) Later in his life, Bruner published many research books, including ' A Study of Thinking' and 'Acts of Meaning'. In these he spoke of the study of cognitive pyschology and the mind. 2078mahear https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355517935 2019-04-30 16:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355517935 4) To Bruner, important outcomes of learning include not just the concepts, categories, and problem-solving procedures invented previously by the culture, but also the ability to "invent" these things for oneself. 2078mahear https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355519645 2019-04-30 16:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355519645 5) Bruner's 3 Modes of Represantation 2078mahear https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355522070 Enactive- involves encoding action based information and storing it in our memory.

Iconic- where information is stored visually in the form of images (a mental picture in the mind’s eye).

Symbolic- where information is stored in the form of a code or symbol, such as language.

Specifically, education should also develop symbolic thinking in children. 2078mahear https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355525445 2019-04-30 16:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/2078mahear/szey6wzpnot/wish/355525445
