A Study of Thinking
Book •
Jerome Bruner's 'A Study of Thinking' investigates human problem solving, categorization, and the structures of thought that underpin cognition.
Building on the early cognitive revolution, Bruner analyzes how people form concepts, reason, and use symbolic representation.
The book contrasts differing modes of thought and emphasizes the active, constructive nature of mind.
It influenced subsequent research in cognitive psychology, education, and philosophy of mind by foregrounding meaning and interpretation.
Bruner's insights helped shift psychology away from strict behaviorism toward richer models of mental processes.
