Bruner's Three Forms of Representation Revisited: Action, Pictures and Words for Effective Computer Instruction.

Presno, Caroline

Journal of Instructional Psychology, v24 n2 p112-18 Jun 1997

Discusses computer instruction in light of Bruner's theory of three forms of representation (action, icons, and symbols). Examines how studies regarding Paivio's dual-coding theory and studies focusing on procedural knowledge support Bruner's theory. Provides specific examples for instruction in three categories: demonstrations, pictures and diagrams, and verbal instruction. (AEF)
