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.
