Jerome Bruner is best known for his contributions to what field of psychology?

Behavioral psychology
Cognitive psychology
Developmental psychology
Social psychology

The correct answer is: Cognitive psychology

Jerome Bruner is best known for his contributions to cognitive psychology, particularly for his work on learning and the processes involved in acquiring knowledge. He emphasized the importance of cognitive processes and how individuals construct their understanding of the world. Bruner argued that learners are active participants in their learning experiences, which led to the development of concepts such as discovery learning and scaffolding. His research and theories have influenced educational practices by promoting the idea that teaching should revolve around how students think and learn, rather than just the content being taught.
