Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 22 times
Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding the three stages of the 'Theory of Cognitive Development' proposed by Jerome Bruner—namely the Enactive Stage, Iconic Stage, and Symbolic Stage—and their pedagogical implications?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Jerome Bruner's Theory of Cognitive Development
Jerome Bruner proposed that cognitive development occurs through three sequential modes of representation:
- Enactive Stage (approx. 0-1 year): Learning is based on physical actions, muscle coordination, and direct manipulation of objects (learning by doing).
- Iconic Stage (approx. 1-6 years): Learning occurs through mental images, sensory impressions, and visual representations.
- Symbolic Stage (from 7 years onwards): Thinking is mediated by language, logic, and abstract symbols.
Therefore, option (b) provides the most accurate and scientific description of the characteristics of these cognitive stages.

When analyzing the theoretical and pedagogical dynamics of the 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) and 'Scaffolding' under Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of development, a teacher provides 'maximum support in the initial stage' during a complex cognitive task and gradually fades out this support as the student's autonomy increases.
