The influential psychologist of perception, Jerome S Bruner died on 5th June (2016) at his home in New York City. He was 100.
Bruner’s idea was that it didn’t make sense to fill children with facts, which they would forget as soon as any test was over. The goal in education was to help them recognise relationships between facts.
Born blind and, after having his sight restored, spent the rest of his life trying to understand how the human mind perceives the world, leading to influential advances in education.
