This was Bruner's first major publication that contributed to constructivist educational psychology. In it, he touched on four key points:
- There must be a relationship between earlier and later learning
- Nothing should be avoided because it is too difficult
- Intuition is an important tool in the learning process
- Interest in learning is the best incentive for learning
Those four points laid the basis for much of his later work; the following video describes the implications of some of his findings.
