A Study of Thinking (Social Science Classics Series)


Listen Later

Jerome Bruner's "A Study of Thinking" is a 1956 work reprinted in 1986, exploring cognitive processes, particularly categorization and concept attainment. The book critiques behaviorism, advocating for a functionalist view of the mind and significantly influencing the cognitive revolution. Bruner examines various strategies used in these processes, considering factors like cognitive strain, risk, and the nature of cues (certain or probabilistic). The text also investigates the interplay between cognitive processes and cultural influences, analyzing how language shapes thought and categorization. Finally, it explores the role of linguistic meaning and its connection to broader cultural understanding.
