Expert Solution
Step 1

Brurner's Theory: 

According to Bruner, the extent to which the kid has received proper education as well as practise or experience impacts the level of intellectual growth. So, with the correct presentation and explanation, a child can grasp an idea that is generally only grasped by adults. 

Bruner provides stages of cognitive growth, but he does not consider them as embodying distinct styles of thought at various levels of development (like Piaget). Instead, he believes that cognitive talents and strategies will evolve over time into more integrated "adult" cognitive techniques.

Bruner believes that symbolic representation is critical for cognitive growth, and that language is our primary means of symbolising the world, hence language has a big role in determining cognitive development.
