✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
According to Jerome Bruner, cognitive development occurs in three sequential stages:
- Enactive Stage (approx. 0 to 1 year): Children learn through physical and action-based interactions with objects.
- Iconic Stage (approx. 1 to 6 years): Children store and process information through mental images, visuals, or imagery-based representations, independent of immediate physical manipulation.
- Symbolic Stage (7 years and beyond): Thinking is mediated through abstract reasoning, language, logical symbols, and codes.
Therefore, option (b) is the most accurate and scientifically valid statement describing these stages.

Under Jerome Bruner's Theory of Cognitive Development and Discovery Learning, a central concept is the 'Spiral Curriculum'. This educational and curriculum design approach defines that any complex subject matter is introduced at an early developmental stage in a very simple, intuitive, and concrete form (enactive or iconic). As the child's age, maturity, and cognitive level increase, the same subject matter is revisited with greater depth, breadth, abstraction, and higher logical complexity.
